(CNN) – Sarah Palin did not visit troops in Iraq, a spokesperson for the Republican VP nominee confirmed Saturday, as new details emerged about the extent of the Alaska governor’s foreign travel.
In July of last year, Palin left North America for the first time to visit Alaskan troops stationed in Kuwait. Palin officials originally said her itinerary included U.S. military installations or outposts in Germany and Kuwait, and that she had visited Ireland. An Alaska spokeswoman for Palin had said Iraq was also one of the stops on that trip.
The Boston Globe reported Saturday that Palin visited the Iraqi side of a border crossing - but never journeyed past the checkpoint.
Earlier: McCain defends Palin's experience level
Earlier, campaign aides confirmed reports that Palin’s time in Ireland on that trip had actually been a re-fueling stop.
(UPDATED with campaign statement after the jump)
The Obama camp – which has increasingly accused the McCain campaign of deliberately lying in ads and on the stump – was quick to highlight to that story, along with a news report that explored whether the McCain campaign have been sending out wildly inflated crowd estimates.
The McCain team has twice pointed to law enforcement as the source for those estimates – but the same officials denied to Bloomberg News that they had provided the numbers cited by the Republican nominee’s campaign.
"The McCain campaign said Governor Palin opposed the Bridge to Nowhere, but now we know she supported it,” said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor in a statement. “They said she didn't seek earmarks, but now we know she hired a lobbyist to get millions in pork for her town and her state. They said she visited Iraq, but today we learned that she only stopped at the border. Americans are starting to wonder, is there anything the McCain campaign isn't lying about?”
A Palin spokesperson also confirmed Saturday that the governor had visited Mexico on a personal vacation trip. She has also visited Canada.
UPDATE: The McCain-Palin campaign issued a statement late Saturday in which they said Palin had traveled into Iraq, although she did not go beyond the border crossing:
"Last summer, Governor Palin travelled to Kuwait where she visited Alaskan National Guard troops deployed to the war in Iraq at Camp Arifjen. While she was there she travelled to the K Crossing on the Kuwait-Iraq border, and a quarter mile into Iraq. According to the General who travelled with her, while she was there she presided over a re-enlistment ceremony of an Alaskan National Guard soldier. En route back to the United States, she travelled to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. While in Germany, Governor Palin visited wounded soldiers at the Landstuhl military hospital. She then returned home. She has also visited Canada, as well as Mexico for a vacation."

If I had a dime for every lie she's told so far, I'd be able to pay off my mortgage! Unbelievable...
Ohhh whats new...... More lies from the Re-Pub Party
That's all......... No kidding?
why is she lying so we see what king of person she is
Wow...
The Republicans are really a piece of work. They want to win at any cost. When will all "revelations" end....
just laughing my butt off here. the big talker who brandished russia for its move, could do no more than tip toe in a real war zone. once again another big military repub scared to do the dirty work themselves, but lets send our troops to georgia. a complete joke!
So she didn't step foot in Iraq and only spent a few hours at an airport in Ireland? Is she even a woman? Are those kids hers or did the McCain campaign hire them? I guess those questions will be answered next week.
So what haven't they been lying about?
The public deserves honest answers!
Palin = Sham!!!
Why don't they ask McCain if that on the Pakistan Iraq border? What a pair of losers.
but we all know palin is a big liar
If someone is willing to lie and distort things this badly to the American public during the election campaign, do you really think they won`t do the same thing if they get in office.......
I hope the next time McCain spouts off about being right about the surge that someone pins him down and asks if he still feels he was right about the war in Iraq in the first place. I mean, he claims to have such vision on the surge yet he never talks about his cheerleading for the war in the first place........Do you want another leader who would rather be right about a scenario that is put in place to clean up the mess he was wrong about in the first place.
Yeah, and republicans are taking the chance of making our foreign policy on ..... refuelling stops.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a sad day for America and jorunalism as well. This is the lady the media is propping up to be the vip of this country if god forbids, the GOP gets its cheating way into its 3rd term.
What?!? The McLiar campaign has been untruthful? What a shocking revelation!
What a Fraud, I Hope the Media will Vet this fraud for who she really is, this is one of the most serious jobs on earth, we can't have crazies that are unqulified continue to take leadership roles in this country
What a life changing trip. She couldn't even remember where she went.
More lies dribble out...
What!? Sarah Palin lied!? Shocking.
I would love nothing more to see a woman in the White House but it should be one who is seasoned and have TRUE experience and knowledgeable about foreign policies and can identify with majority of Americans, etc...
Palin scares me with her angry tone and our country does not need further alienation. Take it from someone who has been on the outside of US borders. The view of Americans overseas is dreadful and shameful!!!! Have you ever wondered why we had to pull teeth and roots to get others to join with us in the Iraq War??? Think about it??
Are we surprised? It's almost as funny as McCain putting out an add targeting illegal immigrants (non voters) in a few states . A lie is a lie is a lie. What happen to honorable capagining?
another lie that will be brushed off by the republicans, the republicans wanted a woman and they didn't care which one they got, as long as they got one. if the republicans win the white house......we are are in trouble......big trouble.
of course not. what's the next lie to be exposed? there are so many i cant keep track. false ads, lies on tv shows ,at campaign rallies ,the entire convention. why would anyone believe anything john/sarah say, anymore? oh .i know . it's all about the wealthy not wanting to pay a little more in taxes ,to get the nation out of the mess they put it in. what happened to country first? it sounds more like me,me,me,!
Yet ANOTHER lie from the McCain camp. Echoes of Bushisms. Anyone who supports this dishonesty will get the lousy government they deserve.
What's the difference between a Hockey Mom and a Liar? Apparently, in the case of Ms. Palin, not much.
well I have lost count of the lies this week especially the ones specific to Mrs. Palin's so called experience. a gimmick that looks like it will blow up in McCain's face I'm afraid. But only if the media sticks to the facts not the noise coming out of the McCain camp. Funny how Mr. McCain blames his negativity on Mr. Obama not agreeing to townhalls. Anyone actually believe he wouldn't be going Karl Rove if Obama agreed? Is McCain running for the people or his own ambition... he promised honor and leadership. If this is the way he runs a campaign – lieing day after day how is he going to run the country?
I'm 36 and have travelled to over 16 nations around the world. Palin only last year left North America? This is an insult to our country. She should not be on any ticket until she buys a ticket around the world. This is scary. She would make America the laughing stalk of the world.
YET ANOTHER LIE. THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, PALIN, WILL BE EXPOSED SOON.
NO MCCAIN, NO PALIN.
What are we suppose to believe that comes out of her mouth? I haven't found anything that impresses me yet.
More lies from these people? Palin said when asked if she would run for vp, she immediatly answered yes without blinking, that is not a good quality to have especially in the white house. This woman should have thought about the good of this country before accepting John Mccain's offer, smh
OMG!!! Stop in Ireland was just to refuel? All these lies she's telling are hard to keep up with!!
It's no surprise that you can find the word "LIAR" in Sarah Palin's name....
TOO MANY LIES FOR ANYONE TO BELIEVE THAT COMES FROM THE MCCAIN/PALIN REPUBLICAN CAMP.BE WARE VOTERS THEY ARESAYING WHAT THEY THINK YOU WANT TO HEAR.WE ONLY WNAT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW YOU CAN GET THIS COUNTRY MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE PEOLPE.ALL THIS OTHER STUFF ,TRASH IT ,NOBODY WANT,S TO HEAR IT.
Isn't it plain to see that the entire Republican campaign is one big lie. George Bush lied to the American people for the last 8 years. Do we really want to repeat history by electing proven liars before November 4th?
WAKE UP!
Vote for Obama...... He has not lied to the American people!
We should sit and pray God this woman never gets near the white house. That would most disastreous moment in this country political history. She is extreme and dangerous.
While there is an ongoing conflict between Georgia and Russia, she said in her interview with ABC, that she would be willing to integrate Georgia into NATO. That means U.S would be obligated to engage militarily with Russia if Geogia gets into an armed conflict with Russia. So far the biased media has not done its job yet to call on this woman. Post that CNN.
the same dumb and arrogant people,
who voted for bush / cheney twice, and go on to kill innocent iraqis and afghanis,
will vote for mcshameless / palin, and go on to kill iranians and north koreans.
stupidity which always comes with arrogance has no cure.
let's split this country into two,
so we the enlightened won't have to suffer the morons.
let them continue to inbreed themselves into extinction.
Proximity to a different country doesn't make you an expert on foreign policy. My roommate for three years in college was from Mexico, but that doesn't make me an expert on immigration.
The republicans are going to make a fool of Gov. palin. They are lying on her to make her seem more than what she is. its sad that they are using her to make a old man, out of date, bush twin exceptable to the republicans.
I can't say it any better than the statement from the Obama campaign. Is there anything that McCain and Palin are NOT lying about?
We've been lied to four eight long years in the Bush administration. Aren't you tired of it? I want a president who will tell us the truth. And that's not John McCain. And it's certainly not Sarah Palin.
DOES THAT MATTER? SHE HAS ALL THE INTERNATIONAL KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY. SHE CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM ALASKA. SHE HAS BEEN TO MEXICAO AND CANADA. JUST RECENTLY ACQUIRED HER VISA. WHAT MORE DOES SHE NEED?
How are we supposed to believe anything she says when she counts a refueling stop in Ireland as a visit to the Emerald Isle?????
Hmmm.
Going NEAR Iraq qualifies as visiting Iraq. Doesn't it?
Refueling in Ireland is still visiting Ireland. Isn't it?
Sure it is.
If your campaign is one big lie.
Sure it is.
Does this woman actually live in the real world? I don't think this person can tell the truth. Lie after lie. I can't believe this country is willing to put their lives and their familys future in the hands of the this woman.She has not a clue. I don't know about you but I want some one in office that has integrity. She has none. To look straight into the camera and lie........people WAKE UP!
LOL.
Figures!
Maverick?
NOT!
YES WE CAN!
Obama/Biden '08
The truth comes out .......
What a tangled web we weave when one tries to decieve.
Palin is on the downslide...She is not to be trusted.
Wake up people.......She is about whats all bad for America.
Details, details.
Pit Bulls aren't big on details.
let the nitpicking begin. must be a real slow newsday for the o-kids at cnn.
What a shocker...they exaggerated Ms. Palin's experience....Wow that is news. she is a fraud and a puppet. If McCain wins, trust me he will be going to Joe Lieberman for advice, not this nutjob. She is here for her good looks and that is all. Watch out Cindy, John just hired wife No. 3!
Lies, lies, and more lies.......seems like just more of the same.
Still lying!
So sad.....................
Well the only truth is she authorized the killings of wolves from planes.(How cowardly! They probably shot the poor wolves and moose in the back) Posers!
Wouldn't it have been nice if McCain had the judgment necessary to select a VP running mate that did not need to be defended daily?
Isn't this what is considered Habitual Liars ? If have not you checked the Polin /McCain You Tube videos you don;'t know what you are missing .
Wow, at least she is consistent with the only thing she knows how to do... lying.
I am petrified to have that lady close to the US presidency. US citizen, you let us down 4 years ago, we beg you to not do the same mistake. Please do something about those two clown.
If you guys don't want Obama-Biden, at least pick Nader.
Looks like the Lipstick is starting to wear of and expose the criminal and liar underneath.
If only the media/networks would keep putting out the truth, instead of sugarcoating republican actions. Shouldn't T.V stations have some responsibility for airing blatant lies. I would think they would fall into a libel suit for helping ruin Obama's reputation. I'm still waiting for someone to pick up on the fact that Obama's policies will go a lot further to reducing global warming than John McCain's (hence, the five named storms on the map at the same time this past month.) Drill, drill, drill is only going to end in more, more, more hurricanes. Imagine living in a second tier state and having to watch out for hurricanes. Ike was still a category 1 at the border of Oklahoma and Arkansas. I thought McCain believed in global warming?? His policies and VP choice say no. Obama '08
Lier ! I wonder why the american are so excited about this lady. She is all phony !
Palin is Karl Rove's dream candidate, she will say and do anything to win, with no scruples. As divisive a person who has ever run,
she has no sense of statesmanship. Dick Cheney in drag.
John McCain made this clever but desperate pick with zero regard
for the well-being of his country. She is arrogant in her ignorance,
and she is a liar.
Lies, Lies, AND more Lies.
NO WAY...NO HOW..NO McCAIN-PALIN.
Who needs to go to Iraq anyways? Joe Biden trumpets his foreign policy experience but he can have candid conversations with any of the top American military leaders from anywhere in the world - even back here in the USA! It's a marvel how modern communication technology works!
omigod, the McCain campaign LIED? I refuse to believe it.
What a tangle web we weave when we try to deceive. Sounds like Palin it taking right up where Bush and Cheney left off.
Unbelievable...scary... What will we here next?
Obama/Biden 08
LIes, lies, lies and more lies. Palin is pathetic.
all lies
Ooops did Sarah really say that, you have to forgive her she doesn't no much about Biology or geography. She is just a pretty little figurehead to mock the Hillary Clinton Campaign.
Wake up American Women, this person is a disgrace to the Female Gender, and is nothing more than a stepford wife.
So !!!! What?????
I still like her unlike some of the others and read where ABC cut out
some of the interview answers she gave to give the impression that
she is not knowledgable on Bush doctrine and other topics. You go
girl.
Palin is not qualified to go near the White House.
She is a pathological liar and thinks that the American people are stupid.
People People People – how much more do you need to send this so-called 'reformer' back where she came from?! It seems that everything this woman says is either totally untrue, misleading or exagerated beyond reason.
If this is an example of what McCain finds acceptable by his new best friend, god help America if he becomes president!
I love Palin. I love McCain. They are the best and ordinary. They are "hockey moms." I don't care if McCain admits he doesn't know much about the economy, forgot the number of houses he owns, lies, Palin flip flops on earmarks, doesn't know bush doctrine, McCain can't check his email and is not respected elsewhere in the world. Wearing a 300k dress and $500 shoes doesn't make you an out of touch!! It makes you better than that.
McPalin '08,
Elitists we can Believe in
The wheels coming off the "straight talk express!"
As the great late President Ronald Reagan said, "Well, there you go again." The McCain campaign is caught up in another lie. Then there'll be another and another. How many more lies will they tell before the American people wake up?
The Obama campaign is right. The McCain campaign is probably running the sleaziest campaign in political history.
Lie, cheat, steal = 4 more years!
Obama/Biden '08
Clinton/Sebelius '16
I am so happy that the truth is coming out about this woman. She made a statement that Obama probably wishes he'd picked Clinton as VP, but I bet McCain, along with other Republican's wish that McCain would have vetted her probably and I'm sure he wished he would have chosen another VP. The picking of the VP says something about both of the presidential candidates judgment. Obama wanted to make sure he chose the right fit for the american people (someone who would balance his foreign experience), but McCain chose her as a publicity stunt just to get Hillary Clinton supporters at the last minute.
To McCain: The american people honor you for your bravery and courage, however, your judgment is not what this country needs right now. Several years ago maybe I would have voted for you, but now that I have researched your policy agenda for myself and found that it lines up with our current President's policies, I cannot take the chance of having a third Bush term.
Obama and Biden are the right choice for America. PLEASE JUST GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE REPUBLICAN'S HAVE USED UP THEIR CHANCES AFTER EIGHT YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can McCain and Palin tell the truth about anything? Where is Helen Thomas when you need her. With the media we have, we are in big trouble. Help us Helen Thomas, the only true journalist left.
Sounds all too familiar. I wonder if she came under sniper fire while abroad as well?
And the lies just keep on coming...
BAH HAHAHAHAHAHA! LIES LIES LIES!!!!! McSame/Failin are running one of the most digusting, revolting and downright insulting campaign in this country's history.
It would be pointless to think anything the McCain/Palin campaign says has any truth to it.They have absolutley lost all credibility.They are making history in the fact that they are running on eight year old policies and the amount of mistruths and lies has to be a record of which they should not be proud.It is not "Putting Country First" it is "Lying First" and America should just say "Thanks but no Thanks" to this "Campaign to Nowhere".
Sarah Palin is rapidly turning into one of the best lying politicians we have ever seen. What is next-see Sasquash, The Loch Ness Monster, and the Abominable Smowman?
Of course she wasnt. It was just another lie told by the Republicans. America do you love being lied to? Is this something you rejoice in? Say no to the lies and vote for Obama. Enough is enough. What will it take for it to be your breaking point? Break away and save us all from this ticket! Vote Democratic! Vote for Obama/Biden. They are the clear choice for change and truth.
Lies, secrecy, and an "I am the Decider" approach to foreign policy sounds oddly familiar.
Why would she want to go to Iran? Syria? Jorden? Dive in the Gulf???
I live next to a doctor. In fact,I can see into his office sometimes. I guess,Ms Palin,that makes me ready to do brain surgery. After all,it seams like half the country has had a lobotomy....What a sad joke.
If you crooks steal this one,Im buying a bomb shelter to prepare for the 'nucalar" war...learn how to say the word please before you bring us there,,,,,Please.
As the days go by she looks more and more inexperienced to be the VP for the Republicans. She will never get my vote!
If the people of the United States do not wake up and see John McCain & Sara Palin for who they really are (liars) we will be in a lot of trouble come January. Grenspan stated yesterday that the US can't afford the tax cuts under John McCain. We can't afford 4 more years of the Bush policies. Think about it....does John McCain ever talk about the economy...NO...John McCain thinks the people in the US are vulnerable and will vote for him because he was a POW....this is all he talks about...well that was decades ago. There are so many contradictions when it comes to Sara Palin, who knows what to believe. She was chosen for political reasons not because she is qualified.....Trust me he is using her to try and get to the White House...Wake up Americans!!!!!!
Just another Mcain-Palen lies. Do you trust them to run our government?
Her resume is so thin that they're including a vacation to Mexico as foreign policy experience, alongside being "near Russia" on the map.
More and more Americans are seeing through John McCain's cynical VP selection each day.
Now its starts again...
Earlier they went after Hillary and now Palin...
Its much easier for Obama to avoid controversies because he hasn^t done anything so far and he just talks.......
Hillary supporter now for McCain & Palin.
Wow... what's not to lie about in the McCain campaign?
...ooh... she went to Canada... AND Mexico. Ladies and gentlemen, she's perfectly fit to lead this country.
Next up:
Palin discovered the internet!
Palin landed on the moon!
Palin established modern religion!
...it makes you wonder what exactly is the truth, and what is spin/lies.
The Republicans try to build a Sarah Palin Brand.
It is completely artificial and baseless – but it might help McCain to win the election.
Why would anyone want this lying scum in the Whitehouse representing the greatest country in the world to further contaminate and taint our image to the rest of the world? I am totally astounded by the amount of support they get. Americans need to wake up, check the facts for themselves and stop accepting anything they are told by people who will lie to your face and continue to repeat the lies even when the facts prove them to be lying. John McDoofus had the unmitigated gall to choose an unqualified running mate who stands a good chance to become president if he keels over just to steal the spotlight. Yet, he expects the American people to believe he loves this country and puts country first. It's like a bad joke that is far too serious to be funny. This is really scary.
Well this shows just how racist the Republicans are that they would rather have an untravelled, uneducated white woman in the White House, rather than a brilliant, well travelled, wise and knowledgeable black man. This is the same tactics that were used during the emancipation of slavery.
Lord forgive them.
Surprise, surprise...move evidence of the Republicans distorting the truth...they did it with Iraq and WMD's, they've done it in the past with campaigns, and they'll do it again this time
The McCain campaign is full of lies!!
I'm sure that she could see Ireland from the plane window the same way that she could see Russia from Alaska. She just increased her foriegn policy experiance by 50%.
They just keep stretching and stretching the truth. Makes you want to vomit.
Since Ms. Palin is a role model for our children, I suppose it is acceptable to teach our children to stretch the truth (i.e., lie)? Simply unbelievable.
It's getting to the point where it's headline material when the McCain campaign actually tells the truth about anything.
We've all got a better chance of sighting the Loch Ness Monster than of hearing anything truthful from McCain & Co. these days.
Straight Talk Express?
More like Straight BS Express.
I dont even know what to say anymore. If you're stupid, vote GOP. Go for it. If you're not, then vote Democrat. Simple as that. Look at who backs each ticket. What kind of people are supporting each candidate. Vote smart. Being intelligent and popular is no disqualification for being President.
Is anyone surprised? Scratch the veneer, and she looks more and more like Bush and Cheney all the time. Same policies, same scandals: McCain/Palin=Bush/Cheney
Mccain is grilled everywhere i.e youtube, the view, cnn, msnbc still he has better ratting than obama.
will anybody tell me who these rating companies work for.
in 2000 fox BROKE the news of bush win.
still media is giving the impression of mccains higher rating.
should american be ready for another dumb president for four more years
Quite the world diplomat!
50 year old college educated white Texan for Obama/Biden
Obama/Biden 08
and let's not forget that she had to fly over Canada numerous times to get to the lower 48...
can anyone really imagine this woman at the head of the senate..much less in the oval office..??
throw the BUMS out...!!!
"If you don't stop spreading lies about me ~ I'm gonna have to tell the truth about YOU!" – Barack Obama, Sept 12, 2008 New Hampshire
Just wow. ...
Straight talk express???
McCain's a liar.
Palin's a liar.
Just what we need. More liars in the White House!
When will we find out that she's really not a governor of Alaska?
More lies? Surprise, surprise! She needs an "L" on her forehead for LIAR.
Do they think we're stupid? I guess. Thanks to some journalists (shout out to the Boston Globe) for still doing investigative journalism and not just spin. Everyone was griping that Obama needed to get tougher. Well so does the news media. They are our watchdogs and part of a true democracy. Palin grows more hollow by the day. And McCain becomes more unethical. In fact, he is lying over and over. What was the "straight talk" he used to tout. No. Really. Was it ever straight and honest?
IT'S AMAZING HOW THE MEDIA ISN'T ALL OVER SARA PALIN AND JOHN MCCAIN FOR THE LIES THEY KNOW ARE BEING TOLD....WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON????????
More lies and misrepresentations from the McCain/Palin campaign. When will they end? How low will they sink to win this election? What happened to the McCain of 2000 and 2004 who had some semblance of honor?
CNNs political page looks like a giant obama poster. I wonder whos side they are on. No 5th estate at cnn, just an obama web site.
I wonder if she also came under sniper attack. Next we'll see McCain on one of the Sunday talk shows arguing that the media got it wrong. What a pair pathological liars.
Has anything that mccain or palin said been the truth. NO NO, execpt that they will continue to look out for the fat cats and keep a war going.
People this should open up everyone eyes, they will do anything even lie to win the white house. This sounds like someone we all know to well the original Maverick G. Bush.
Mc Cain and Palin will only follow the real Maverick in office now.
McCain/Palin are all about lies. Seems that she also likes to give her friends positions in government. Check out Saturdays NYT front page article.
Send her to Iraq now for the sake of our country. She is a liar and a fraud.
Wasn't Senator Obama criticized for this?
The Palin-drones seem to eat up anything she says, no matter the truth. Of course, it's the liberal media's fault that she continues to lie and exaggerate her record.
Oh, and if a "personal vacation" to Mexico is experience, then millions of spring breakers may also be qualified.
The more we learn about Sarah Palin the more horrified I am not only that she doesn't seem to care what she says or how she lies, but how John McCain, supposedly an honest man, chose her! It must mean that neither of them has any scruples, he by what he says and how he panders to the right wing of his party, and she by the hypocritical way that she leads her life.
Anyone with real family values should be appalled by the way she treats her family. Obviously ambition comes before values. What's really sad is the way in which she has captivated the country. Is there enough time between now and the election to show her clay feet? Carl Rove won't let that happen.
So McCain and his VP have publicly stated numerous lies and those lies are finally being confronted by the media? I doubt that very much. Palin has a lot of nerve stating Obama regrets not choosing Clinton as his VP. I woul\d say after her interview with Charlie Gibson, where she comes off as completely ignorant of critical foreign policy issues at best, she will learn to shut her ignorant mouth.This woman is one world war waiting to happen and I would say it is McCain who has regrets over his choice of VP. Also, you should acknowledge that many women have enough brains to see through this dangerously unqualified candidate and wil not vote for her just because she is a woman., Many of us are not sheep!
Does Palin know how to tell the truth or her spokeswomen/men?? This is really getting absurd. it's just like one thing after another is proven to be not true about her. Who is she?
I guess her claim that she "has been to Iraq theater of operations" is about as accurate as her claim of foreign policy experience because she can "see Russia from parts of Alaska". What a piece of work. It's clear a McCain/Palin administration would be about as honest and accountable as Bush/Cheney.
Could you please alert the media when John McCain and Sarah Palin decide to actually speak the truth? Or are they afraid of it? Now we know why you don't see Sarah do interviews - she's afraid she'll be tripped up on her lies and her ignorance. Doesn't the American they vow to "put first" deserve better than this? How dare they?
"In July of last year, Palin left North America for the first time"- CNN. Wow.
Drip, drip, drip, dirp...soon enough, McCain will be exposed to have made a monumental error in choosing this woman as his running mate.
When you make a bad decision and you refuse to acknowledge, you will continuosly lie to attempt to cover up the bad decision...think of how many other reasons/lies Bush has offered for the bad judgment of invading Iraq.
I hope America wakes up!
Deceiving the American people is what the Republicans are about! They stretch the TRUTH..... just enough so that they get away with it.
In my book, A LIE IS A LIE. HOW CAN WE ELECT SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY...... TELLING LIES???????????????????????????????
Now if they would only admit that just because you can see Russia from parts of Alaska does not mean you have foreign policy experience with Russia.McCain /Palin joke of the century !
Gov. Palin supported the bridge when it was going to cost around $200 million. When she became governor, she said she planned to curtail earmarks. She also learned the price of the bridge had more than doubled in cost to $400+ million. Easy decision there–earmarks were bringing us down and the cost could not be justified. Wouldn't you have changed your mind? An Alaskan
Stop the presses, another lie from the McCain/PALIN ticket.
Soooo...guess this is just some more made up crap about Palins accomplishments....
Umm, isn't this a LIE?
Pathetic! Why lie about visiting troops in Iraq? The more mistruths we are told the less reliable this GOP nomination seems.
WHEN CHARLES GIBSON ASKED PALIN ABOUT HER FOREIGN TRAVEL, SHE TOLD HIM THAT SHE HAD BEEN TO CANADA, AND MEXICO!
DOES SHE NOT KNOW, WHERE CANADA AND MEXICO ARE LOCATED?
Well then let's just let her get her feet wet in the national spotlight. this is all such a joke and i feel sorry for her because she is so intent on her own star that she cannot see the rep party is using her and will toss her away after election day. poor lady, but she is choosing to be used so what the heck? Can you see Carl Rove and his rangers cozying up to her or letting her in their little club?
obama is teh candidate and he has been there waht once?
biden is a FIVE time draft didger.
obama/biden NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE.
try that!
if this wasn't a race to be president and vice president it would be quite the comedy, however since it is, its simply a tragedy that these people are even being considered.
I'm an Obama supporter, and the fact that Sarah Palin didn't technically step across the border doesn't really matter to me. What I do care about is how little she understands about international affairs, as was made clear in her ABC interview. I applaud her son for joining the military, but I hope he based his decision on something other than his mother's comic book version of the conflict we're in.
I hate to admit it, but I'd rather have Bush continue to be responsible for foreign policy than let Sarah Palin anywhere near such important decisions.
Who cares where she visited the troops? What matters is that she's willing to put them in harms way for a cause that she, herself, is not even close to comprehending.
This woman is the biggest liar i have ever seen! America please wake-up! McCain & Palin in the White House is like having The Monsters over for dinner.
Holy Cow John McCain.....STOP with the lies already!?!
Actually, keep it up...so the media can continue to unveil you as the deceptive, shrewd, politics as usual blowhard you really are.
P.S.....a refueling stop doesn't count as foreign affair credentials. I once had a layover in Arizona, but I dont pretend to know anything about their state.
So who is she????? What did she do?????? Will anyone ever know the truth??? Is it a scifi movie or are we talking about our country and our future?
This is disgusting
Another character fabricated by the repubs
I'm not suprised at all. What can we really believe
Another lie? I am beside myself with disbelief.
Palin is a BAD joke and anyone who can not see that is A. not telling the truth, B. insane, or C. has IQ below 60.
They are trying to spin John McCain's knee-jerk-off the wall selection of Palin as VP as a good choice but it solidifies for me that John McCain is not fit to be Pres. He used POOR judgement in his selection of a VP and put his desire for power first, NOT our country as he claims.
Wake up. Some chose Bush because he made some feel he was just like them. Bush had a business bankruptcy in his history and now has put 5.5 TRILLION dollars on a credit card to be paid off by us, our children or grandchildren. Please do not make the same mistake again . Our country may not survive another 4 years.
HOW CAN ANYONE... AND I MEAN ANYONE VOTE FOR THIS NUT JOB!!!!! Mc Senial is a joke and so is this LYING HOCKEY MOM!!! I AM A LIFE TIME REPUBLICAN BUT, THIS TICKET SCARES ME TO DEATH!!!! I AM GOING TO VOTE DEMOCRAT FOR 1ST TIME EVER IN ALL MY 45 YEARS OF VOTING........ OBAMA/BIDEN...2008 !!!!!
We know it's true. They're lying. And why? We don't care whether she visited Iraq except that McCain made such a big deal about it. We don't care that she is anti-earmark queen, except she said she was and McCain says he based his pick on it.
Dems need to let the media FINALLY do their job. This stuff will come out on its own.
What is clear. McCain's vetting of Palin was horrendous. Not because she was a horrible candidate, but because they are so flatfooted about the information coming out.
It's not her record that bothers me. IT'S THE HYPOCRISY. At some point, flip-flops become lies. Lying is a serious charge, but it's looking like it's going to stick - at the very least regarding earmarks.
In the ABC interview....when asked whether she had ever been outside the USA, she said she had been to Canada and Mexico. Now there is info suggesting she has been elsewhere.
Has she got a memory problem?
Oh stop picking on Sarah. She's going to win because Americans like
a good story more than issues and her story is a great one.
Star basketball player, hunter, fisherman, Mayor, Governor, all by the age of 44 and raising 5 kids at the same time. She's the perfect model for our daughters and for women in general. Her story will win the election for McCain/Palin.
One of the many lies from the McCain/Palin ticket. They can not be trusted.
This can't be true – the evangelicals support Palin/McCain. They wouldn't lie! They are Christians !!
Why is CNN lying about our hero and angel?
What can one say? Palin's pants have got to be on fire.
The liar's list is too long. Besides this gem, it also was learned yesterday that she has never commanded the Alaska National Guard to do anything, her sole claim to be qualified to be Commander in Chief. It's a sad day ...
Looking forward to tonight's SNL skit.
I agree with Tommy, Obama's spokesman, we are starting to wander is there anything that they, the McCain Campaign, won't lie about. I am glad all of their lies are being uncovered.
Liberal's grabing for straws.
The more they lie, the more they'll get caught.
And to think that a few months ago McCrazy was criticizing Obama for not going to Iraq. This is just like how he complained that Obama was inexperienced, then picked a VP candidate with less experience.
wow ms palin and friends, your lies and cover ups leave me speechless. Come on McCain campaign you can't have your cake and eat it too. you got the celebrity excitement from your vp pick, now stop pretending that she doesnt have all these skeletons in her closet. just own up to it, its not like the palinaholics will care anyway.
Ummm...well...I guess I can pretty much use this comment for just about every claim that McCain or Palin make:
Liar, liar, pants on fire...
Is there ONE SINGLE AUTHENTIC THING about either of these candidates? Are they even real, do they even know what they've done or what they think, or have they been so handled and manipulated that they are just clueless robots.
Either way, another pathetic Republican disgrace. Ugh.
CNN, please carry this eventhough it is critical about your Sarah Palin
Why would she say she visited the troops in Iraq, when she never stepped on Iraqi soil? Does she have to lie about everything from falsely claiming she sold plane on ebay for a profit, falsely claiming per diem from the Alaska's government, to her reasons for abusing her office by firing the commisioner who refused to fire her ex-brother-in-law? I hope she is not what some have called her: a pathological lier.
I simply cannot believe that any thinking person would choose an AIR HEAD for the second , and most probably , most important job in the free world !! For God sake ! Think before you vote ! McCain , you old fool, do or say anything to be elected ! Do you think what you have done with this Sarah Palin person is PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST ?? She is no more qualified to be Vice or President of the US than I am ! What do we know about her education ? We surely know she has a very base level of international affairs, and has not had ANY exposure to foreign affairs !! How dare you do this to the American people ! If you truly loved your country , instead of loving POWER ,AND PERSONAL AMBITION , you would have REALLY PUT COUNTRY FIRST, and chosen someone that was qualified ! You are a traitor , in my eyes , a terrible man who put ambition over country and have put us all in DANGER !! YOU JUST DON'T GET IT . You will , if elected, make a terrible President , dishonesty , and deceit , are not qualities anyone admires. You should be ASHAMED tohave fallen so far from GRACE.
Doesn't really matter. Because of deep divisions on racial, gender, and party lines, and the overall stupidity of it all, these people who have lied their way to where they are today, will grab the white house. Sad.
please lets get off this woman..she's not worth it. We all know she's not qualified to lead the nation should she have to, God forbid and she's told so many lies and half truths who really knows what she believes in or has done...it was obviously a total political move on McCain's part ( a move by the way that even has many highly placed Republicans scratching their heads) Believe me her aura will wear off very quickly now as we get to see the real person emerge from behind the slowly disintegrating GOP shield that was erected in front of her.
I'm not sure this is that big of a deal, depending on the status of the spokesperson. "Misstatements" have happened quite alot the last year from all major candidates in the primaries and the general. However if McCain and Palin themselves said she did then it would be an issue.
The misinformation and outright lies coming out of the McCain campaign are becoming ridiculous. How are we supposed to take these two seriously when it seems like every other day we find out that something they've claimed is not actually the truth?
Did you mss her interview with Charlie Gibson–she said Kuwait, not Iraq. Are you suffering from dementia or something? Get real CNN if you ever want to catch up to Fox in the ratings.
What has she said that she hasn't altered or lied about?? Her "trip" to Ireland was a stopover at the airport.
My momma used to tell me that its harder to keep lying that it is to tell the truth. Over exaggerations in this political race is far from impressive. Stop in Ireland for refueling, vacationing in Canda and Mexico? Come on man! That means I have foreign experience too!
Cathy in Fort Worth TX
No surprise here, just another lie by the GOP.
When will America wake up and realize that they are being manipulated into believing the lies from the McCain/Palin ticket?
Did the last 8 years not prove to the American people that the only thing that is on the mind of Republicans is Power, and they could care less about every-day Americans?
You can call Obama all the names you want, but he is still more of an American than any politician willing to sacrifice the American people and our country for the purpose of greed and power through lies, like McCain/Palin.
They can't help lying. Their motto " A lie is just as good as the truth if you can get someone to believe you." Their lying has worked in the past so I guess they see no need in stopping now. But I'm sure it's Obama's fault. If Obama would only go to town hall meetings with McCain, McCain wouldn't have to lie.
When will McCain and Palin get their facts straight and engage in some straight talk rather then lies, smears and spinning the truth to make them look good?
Obama does not need to muddy up Palin himself.
His job is being done by the "ELITE MEDIA" including CNN and its so called "POLITICAL ANALYSTS" Jeffery Toobin, Roland Martin, Gloria Borger, ANd even the hosta's job to like Campbell Brown.
Toobin says, its the media job to expose the candidates. I wonder where was he when a freshman senator started running for President. He probably has enough qualifications for the INTERNSHIP job at the white house.
So, what is there to know, or not to know, about this national candidate who is as sequestered as Kim Jon Il?
Come CNN, do your job! The fact that a potential president of the United States will not speak openly to the press is newsworthy in itself. Find out why; this is serious.
and don't forget she can see Russia from Alaska....
Anyone else notice that Johnny Mac has stopped questioning Obama's judgment all of the time?
my ten year old sister has been to more foreign countries than palin has.
Their motto should be Country First to be LIED TO before we can make to the white house.
For Goodness sakes! American can't be dumb enough to elect these blatant LIARS.
She is such a joke. That ticket is such a joke.
so what? She is close to Russia. That's enough. She understands foreign policy because Alaska is very close Russia. why to go to iraq?
WoW more lies ....who would have thunk it!
At least we do know that Alaska is near Russia.. What more could we ask for !
McCain is looking more and more foolish!
Like many others, I was originally leaning towards McCain for President. However, the deceipt in their campaign has swayed my vote towards Obama. I would not feel comfortable trusting these two to lead our country.
The true colors are shining through...
Spin, Spin, Spin. McCain really underestimated our Intelligence. He should have vetted Palin. She is finally realizing what we expect in the lower 48 and that is truth and accountability. And we do have the right to question our elected officals.
How long will it take to see that Palin is not ready for Prime Time? Anyone see that interview Friday in which she danced and skipped her way through without answering enough?
Anyone surprised? Really?
There will be more, just wait.
Palin-gate #5. And the list grows...
How many lies are they gonna tell us? I weep for my country!
Wow, this is an issue that the media should cover heavily. She needs to be taken to task for her false claims. If the media does not report heavily on this then we know who's in it for the Mccain-Palin ticket.
Palin should be ashamed of her self!
Obama 08 !!!!
Sara visited which Mexico? The country Mexico or the state New Mexico? Please clarify.
Just another lie to had to the stinking heap! These people have no shame!
Another lie by the McCain/Palin campaign. It's amazing how they think Americans are stupid enough to trust them.
But she could see Iraq from the border- she has now Iraq war experience.
Now dont try to argue with me, I once visited NASA in Houston... that makes me a rocket scientist...
And this is the person that the Republicans are trotting out as their best choice for VP? The incompetence in choosing her is staggering. The sad thing is that there seem to be a lot of folks falling for this nonsense by supporting that ticket. How sad for America.
Uh oh. I have more travel experience than her.
The lies just keep on coming while MaGoo tries to keep a straight face.
Welcome to the cheap talk express
Stretching the truth is normal for BUSH and the GOP look how they have manage to lie then cover-up with more lies. She will fit right in!
It seems difficult in the McCain Campaign to do some straight talk!
America deserves straight talk not lies!!!!!
I hope it's starting to get clear to everyone that McCain will say ANYTHING to get elected. Nothing they say can be seen as credible any longer! They forget that this is the internet age and that we can actually look up information. Unlike one candidate I know....
Don't fall for the same old lies America!!
Texans for Obama!!
So ... when Gov. Palin was selected we were told repeatedly by the MCain campaign that she had visited battle operations INSIDE Iraq. No? Not true? Almost did? Miscommunication? Liberal media bias? Being picked on because she's a woman? How about just another lie?
Typical lying Republican. This woman can't keep her stories straight and it looks like she will stoop to absolutely nothing to try to get herself, Bubba and her pack of white trash kids to Washington. Please Dear God, don't let the American people be fooled by this fraud.
Who cares ???
Is lying a problem with Alaska or Sara Palin can't help herself.
Everything this chic says is a bold face lie. God give me a break.
When did John McCain become such a liar? He used to be honorable. I used to respect him. Now, he is truly as despicable as Rove and Bush.
There is only one honorable choice in this election: Obama.
LIARS, LIARS – pants on fires. McCain and Palin are nothing but LIARS. Bit by bit, truth comes out. But even as one truth comes out, two more LIES are told! And if these two habitual LIARS are elected in 50 days – all the fact-checking in the world is irrelevant.
Their whole campaign seems to be nothing but lies and exaggerations! Shame on any American who believes these fools!
This woman needs to get her stories straight, as do the campaign aides. Didn't Palin tell Charlie Gibson of ABC News that she had visited Iraq? Come on, what next are we going to learn about this woman. I'm telling you, you can't lie about anything because the truth always has a way of coming out.
Will this be Palin's Bosnia moment? It should be. How many more lies is the American public willing to put up with?
Another lie, Mrs. Palin, you say you are a Christian, so why do you keep lying. Did you ever read the ten commandments? Thou Shalt not bear false witness.
Just one more lie from the McCain/Palin ticket! This is not surprising at all! I'm sure that there is more to come.
And the lies continue to mount. Too bad many people do not care as long as they don't have to vote for a black man with a funny name. If McCain wins we will know exactly what we are getting; what we've had for the last 8 years, decietful republicans.
WOW she visited some countries some on a vacation trip... That is NOT foreign experience. That is not experience to go and visit AMERICANS (troops)... Foreign relations involves getting to know another ones culture and getting to know some of the Leaders in those cultures.
Obama grew up in other cultures, he has met leaders and prime ministers etc. She has done nothing but visit troops and go on vacation. Wooppee doo.
I am tired of the McCain/Palin lies. I saw the ad that said she has been in Iraq. Lies Lies Lies
When is it gonna stop?? When is America gonna wake up?? After so many lies doesnt it have you questioning anything??
Hey got to give Palin some credit...she sure did learn how to effectively embellish her experiences pretty quickly just like any crafty Washington politician! This is typical of the usual politics that both parties have employed in the past. Has everyone forgot about Hillary "ducking bullets from snipers"?
What a pack of liers. If she willing to deceive us now when she has no power, what will she amd McCain do if they were elected. America, WAKE UP.
Mrs Palin please start telling the truth it is what your GOD would want
So now i want to see Fox News put up a countdown clock showing the number of days since Palin visited Iraq. If it was so essential for Obama to understand the situation on the ground, why isnt it for her? Double standards? fair and balanced?
At least she's changing her tune on this one.
Is anyone keeping track of the sheer quantity of dishonest claims by the McCain campaign? Is this really what we need? If the campaign is, in fact, run by the same people who ran the Bush campaign, is it possible the 8 years of Bush were full of lies, the same lies being published in books? They deny, they say it's all BS, but can we believe them? Get these pigs out of office.
The McCain campaign lied again.. No!!!! I dont believe it. Honestly, I see an emerging pattern from a desparate campaign. Their internals must really say something.
um...
McCain's campaign seems a little desperate to me. If they were smart, they'd realize that fabricating (or embellishing) Palin's experience will only harm them in the long run.
for now it only helps obama/biden! woot!
Interesting...wonder what else about Governor Palin will be revealed in the weeks to come?
Wow! Caught lying again. How many does this make now? This would be breaking news if the shoe was on the other foot! But no, just like all the other lies, CNN hides it in the political ticker. Nice!
And we are surprised because . . . ? Maybe she was too busy saying "Thanks but no thanks" to remember her vast travel experiences. But hey, she can see Russia, so she's ready to go!
Bottom line: She's not qualified to be Vice President. Barack Obama has extensive experience in the containment of Russian nukes, working with Richard Lugar, and worked with Chuck Hagel on nuclear terrorism. Palin lives in a state that has a remote island from which one can see a sparsely populated sliver of Russia.
throw the entire republican party in prison for war crimes . impeech bush and cheney and then lets move on .obama/biden 08
HaHAhA!! And Probably only Canada because she flew over it....what a joke this VP candidate is. CAnt wait for SNL.
Tell the "Big Lie!" That is the way to fool the weak minded and under-educated. It is also how you enlarge yourselfand win at any cost. McCain should be ashamed of himself. Simarly, in my neighborhood, having a child out-ofwedlock is a shameful act, bringing disgrace and ridicule to the family and community. And now a VP candidate-who ought to be a model of virtue along with your family-proudly acknowledges that her then 16 year old daughter is pregnant. Horrid, inexcusable, and shows that her ambitions mean more to her than raising children who are moral and upstanding.
yeah, what else are they lying about?
Guys, the question is not on what countries' soil she's technically put her feet. The question is whether she's _been_ to other countries in any meaningful sense of the word. Visiting US bases is a good thing to do, but it's not a visit to a foreign country – it's a visit to a US base. Most Americans don't travel much, and that's okay (regrettable, but okay). But most Americans aren't running for second-highest post in the country, either.
I think the McCain camp should continue lying and getting caught in their lies. It will destroy any credibility they might have had. If people still continue to vote liars into office then they will deserve the further decline that will most definitely happen in this country.
McCain is a liar and a bully, just like Bush is a liar and a punk. We've had enough of this type of leadership (if you can call it that)....
Palin has a great talent for glossing things over: top notch at b.s. A lot of this lying will come back to bite her.
Liars.
Again, I do not want sound like a broken record by saying reconsider being McCains Running mate. GOP will have a more Formidable chance in four years.
They are using you as a puppet to motivate the base.
Again, do not worry
Obama / Biden have Won big
Manifestation of it will appear to satify the unbeleifs of others.
McCain call this a new type of politics...LOL
Hard to beleive, More of the same
LOL – What level of experience!?! A refueling stop now she is qualified!
What a JOKE the McCain campaign is!
Give me a break!
Thats what you get when you vett someone with 1 phone call and a 15 min meeting!
Like we all know McCain is usin her because Palin sole purpose is to attract the women's votes!
Its quiet distasteful how McCain is using a woman in this manner!
Women are NOT disposable toys!
GOP = Grabage
Who cares, Sarah?
Please, my people in TX and LA are having real problems now.
They really don't give a fig about you or your travels.
Who does care?
This is terrible that McCain has to lie about this women to win the presidency I think that the news media needs to do more fact checking about this lady after all if they win our lives will be in these crooks hands and we as people don"t need no more headache in our life. Wake up people these are real issuses.
Just the beginning, folks.
So, many scandals, so little time!
This woman's antics never disappoints.
Enough about "WONDER WOMAN", she should get her stories straight before she releases articles to the press. Is she doing on the job training? Her bubble is getting over-inflated.
Another lie!!! How is it that we can trust this woman with our future and our kids futures? If they lie in the campaign what will happen when they have the power of the federal government. Very scary!
It seems lying is the only way John Macain and his sidekick VP can win the election. Dishonesty seems to be accepted by the so called mavericks and their party. So much for the straight talk!!!! Sarah Palin is so cocky it will be nice to see her taken down , and it will come.
and what has this to do with the price of gas and drilling in Alaska?
So Obama went to Kenya to see his dad and bros? Does that make him any more worldly? No.
Obama is risky and has a funny sounding name. Biden was not the best qualified in his own words.
Funny how this campaign has turned around and now McCain leads. He will protect our country and our values.
As usual the Republicans are either exaggerating or telling lies.
TYPICAL.
OBAMA/BIDEN?
WOW!!! This just keeps getting better. Sadly, though, people will continue to supprt her. My condolences to them.
Where's Father Pfleiger when you need him? Will someone, anyone, please properly vet this pathetic attempt at a VP candidate???
Where do the lies end???? Bush was elected twice and now its happening again, this country will get what it deserves!!
Conservatisim = Down fall of America
PALIN AND THE MCLIE CAMP HAVE BBEN PROVEN TO BE LIARS.
THE MEDIA NEEDS TO CALL THEM ON THIS.
THEY ARE LIARS
Who cares? Sarah Bush Palin is the best thing since Preperation-H. That's McCain loves her.
They said she went ... they didn't say she was close, what else have they LIED about?
This nation is too important to go backawrds....please look beyond color of skin....Obama is our best bet. Grandpa Mcsame will do anything to win....so what's really at stake.....Please I urge my fellow republicans to vote team Obama....
Only those with blinders still on are not able to reason that most everything about Georgweenia are lies, FLAT OUT LIES! McShame is doing all he can to pull off this GIMMICK PICK on the American people, but he knows it can only work on those that will fall for anything without researching and asking questions. THAT'S WHY HE DOES NOT WANT THE MEDIA INTERVIEWING HER, THAT'S WHY HE HAS A HANDS OFF APPROACH TO HER, THANT'S WHY HE NEEDS PEOPLE TO DISTRUST THE MEDIA ABOUT HER! EVERYDAY SOMETHING IS FOUND OUT ABOUT HER THAT IS NOT GOOD AND THOUGH SOME OF IT IS NOT TRUE, BUT MOST IS!
LET'S NOT WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE TO FULLY FIND OUT THIS WOMAN IS NOT WHAT WE NEED OR WANT.
NOW GRANTED OBAMA MAY VERY WELL BE WHAT SOME DON'T WANT FOR WHATEVER REASON, BUT THE MORE WE SEE AND LEARN ABOUT HIM AND BIDEN HE IS WHO WE NEED!
GO TO FACTCHECK.ORG
Sarah Palin.. You are the weakest link..good bye!
How can Americans witness outright lies from a campaign and be o.k. with it? McCain and Palin have been busted several times in the last week for lying about numerous things. Is this the America where you want your kids and grandkids to grow up? What kind of morals are we giving our children if we now believe that blatant lying is o.k.?
Disgusting.
Does that mean that she is not qualified to be vice-president...let alone president. Shucks!! McCain is proving he should not be president either, cannot believe anything he says.
So you know what that means....Obama is going to win this election!!!Yea!!!!!
And Palin thinks she's ready to be a VP and the presiden if need be.... Anyone running for executive office should at least have some foreign policy experience.
More lies, every day....whats so pathetic is that Republicans don't care. They will elect any moron to office no matter how stupid they are. I love how most of these people are the "supposed" religious Right. Republicans are scumbag hypocrites.
Does the Mccain camp know how to tell the truth? They are lying about every single issue! If they every detail their economic plans...I am sure that those will be lies as well!
Why do they continue to lie and lie without any remorse? It is amazing that Republicans who tend to want to lay a claim as being Christians have zero shame when it comes to telling a lie. The most shameful thing is that inspite of all the lies, Americans are still voting for them. Why? No wonder we are in this melt-down with Bush and company. Eight is enough. No more lies, no how, no way, no McPalin.
In the ABC interview with Charles Gibsonm did she not reference going to Iraq as well as Germany? She completly farbricated Germany or forgot with all her other world travels that she wasn't there?
how many lies has this woman told? yet the republicans keep backing her up. this is really getting to me. this is the sleaziest most crooked campaign yet in my lifetime. it is very disturbing. they (mccain palin) treat this as if it is a football game and they MUST WIN. the idea of them in charge leading us straight to ww3 is a scary thing. they are corrupt. why can't people see that and why do they get away with it? Obama has run a totally clean campaign-go ahead slam him, or his minister or whatever. he has been fantastic about not stooping to the sick level the Republicans have. Every day it is some other lie about Sarah Palin. BAD BAD CHOICE. SHE IS corrupt and McCain has sold out! He is NOT the man / maverick he once was.......now he is just another example of a crooked above the law rovian republican.
OK, her foreign policy experience consists of being somewhat closer to Russia than many Americans and also taking a trip to Kuwait.
Oh, and a re-fueling stop in Ireland. Do I have that right?
The only change John McCain will bring to D.C. is "Change of Mind"
Flip-Flop and he won't stop.
Another lie ! As for being "ready immediately" to be VP I can only Bertrand Russell the philosopher : "Fools and fanatics are so certain of themselves but wiser people so full of doubts."
This is too funny. More lies. Wonder what else they will find if they look under a few more rocks. And I never knew being on the other side of a border means you went there or that a re fuel stop meant you had been there is anything but the broadest sence of the word..
is so funny,the way the mccain camp are used to twisting things up side dnow,calling white black and black white.they should actually try to do what they preach (country first) .to me it seems like the country is the last to them.
These Obamanuts are pathetic. Every little stupid, fricking nuance they have to nit-pit. Not too many governors are travelling to Iraq these days. It took The Chosen One quite awhile to get there, you fricking idiots. Why don't you put out a press release comparing the number of trips The Moronic One made versus McCain! What is their obsession with comparing The Idiotic One to Palin!?
Never in Iraq? So what? How much foreign experience did Bill Clinton have when he was elected president? Ronald Reagan? Al Gore? Jimmy Carter? How did obama's Public relations show overseas add anything to his qualifications. Strutting all over Europe did nothing except build Obama's already overstuffed ego! How many people have been elected vice president of even president who had never met a foreigh dignitary? It is amazing how the liberal press who are overwhelmingly for obama are holding Sarah Palin to standards never before expected from a vice presidential candidate. Palin has proven her ability to cut to the chase and accomplish things. She is a brilliant, proactive person who can make a dozen correct decisions whiole Obama is still waffling and stuttering. What would a visit to meet the troops in Iraq add one tittle to anyone's qualifications for anything? Neither Obama nor Biden have ever had to make ONE decision as an executive of anything. I guess if I visited Iraq and Germany, I would be just as wualified as Obama!! I have made executive decisions, which he hasn't.
If the proven lies concerning her position on The Bridge to Nowhere, earmarks, and her constant evasion of questions during her interview with Charlie isn't enough to convince the undecided she isn't ready to hold national office then perhaps the attempt to pad her resume with travel experience will.
Can this campaign tell the truth about anything?
let me ask you this when did ireland become a refuel stop, i never heard such a thing , also it does not say how long she was there, since her iraq trip was not true as we are finding out,amd that about 1/3 of what she has said in her campain speeches are now being readdressed as she makes a diffrent statement to try and cover her mistruths, where was she comming from that called for a fuel stop in ireland and how long was she there, those are questions that should asked since mrs. palan has a way of streaching the truth to fit her needs,and why was the fact that she was in ireland never revealed she played it like it was a trip to iraq , now i know germany does not go to ireland to refuel, so again where was she comming from that required a fuel stop in ireland, was this a military craft, or commerical. 95 % of all aircraft has enough fuel to make the states, non stop , this was most likely a polictical junket. there has to be more to this than is being said, it should be investagated since she did not tell the truth about iraq. and all her emotion about being threre when she was not. again as i said i belive she says alot of things she says are just not true, also i would love to know why after her daughter was with child for at least 5 months and she never imformed the republican party untill after she had taken the v.p. postion. is that not a correct thing to do to her party, and how could the poeple checking her out see that her daughter was pregnant. you could of not missed that, no way. it appears that she will do anything or say anything to get what she wants. ken
Sarah is a fake. I'm sorry about my sons comments but I dropped him on his head...several times.
What a cocky wacko...who actually turns out to be a LIAR.
This lady is so full of herself!
Why anyone would want to see her in a position of power is beyond me. She is power hungry!
Yet McCain called Obama out for not going to Iraq....Seriously? If somehow The Bridge to Nowhere is elected, we deserve it.
Such a fraud. Lies, lies and more lies. Let her keep talking. The more she opens her mouth, the more she proves she is so unqualified to be Vice President, let alone President. She should stick to local politics and leave the national scene alone. What the heck was McCain thinking when he chose this woman?! Like Obama said, "they must think we're stupid". Both of them are starting to be one great big pain in the you know what.
No McPain
No Pa(L)in
Yes Obama
Yes Biden
Governor Palin seems to be extremely "creative" in her rhetoric. Unfortunately, she does not seem to realize that we live in an era of information and it's easy to check facts. Neither, it seems, does her runningmate. At the Saddleback Church, McCain said his deepest regret was "the end of his first marriage." He failed to mention that he ended it after his first wife was disfigured and seriously injured in an automobile accident. This has been widely reported in the European press. Neither McCain nor Palin tend to tell the "whole story." Lies of omission are still lies.
Hey Republicans:
You are off to a very, very sorry start on getting Americans, and the whole world, once again trust us. You need to tell McCain and Palin's handlers to get off this track of exaggerations and other game playing. This is not good for any, any, any of us.
GO FIGURE, WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHY WE HAVE PROVEN LIES OF PALIN AND MCCAIN AND THEIR TICKET IS UP BY 1 POINT OVER OBAMA/BIDEN.
I THINK THIS COUNTRY ISN'T READY FOR A BLACK MAN TO BE PRISDENT. BUT I AM STILL VOITING FOR HIM I THINK IN THE END HE WILL WIN AND THIS COUNTRY WILL EXPERIENCE REAL CHANGE, NOT JUST A PACK OF LIES, TO WIN YOURSELF AN ELECTION.
Its a no brainer to eat moosemeat and be a hockey mom in the north. As well, its easy to become someone up there because the population is nil! I know it because Im a woman from the north who has aspired and worked in a national and international realm.
She lacks a basic leadership entitiy–conflict resolution. If she was experienced, she wouldnt have a record of firing people
As a generous US taxpayer, I wouldnt want to see someone like her in office. She gets under a lot of peoples skins and the media loves her so fails to expose who she really is and isnt.
Surprise...surprise...another McCain Palin lie.
Sarah is a fake. I'm sorry about my son's comments but I dropped him on his head...several times.
Palin's lies are unraveling .. one at a time!! This is the most cynical manipulation of female voters I have ever seen. How pathetic!!
Politically speaking I'm quite cynical, but the sheer number of exaggerations, half-truths, and at times out right lies emanating from the McCain camp is getting pretty staggering at this point. Of course we always see that kind of thing, and the Obama people have severely misrepresented facts as well, but the McCain campaign is so utterly brazen about it, even in the face of plain-as-day fact checks by neutral parties, that I'm actually a bit shocked.
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. If McCain wins, i.e. if voters don't send a message that wildly dishonest campaigning is unacceptable, we might see even MORE dishonest campaigning in the future. I wouldn't have thought that was possible, but perhaps I'm not cynical enough.
Finally, these kind of stories are all the more disappointing given that McCain has spoken eloquently against these kind of dishonest tactics in the past. Though I don't support him for president, I did give him some money during his 2000 campaign and have up to this point respected him as a politician (this coming from someone who respects few pols in either party). That respect is now rapidly dwindling toward zero.
Oh yeah... and she does look like Peggy Hill (from King of the Hill).
Can't wait until the Southpark episode comes out.
Don't care.. CNN.. you are spending WAY too much time trying to tear Palin down. Go back to trying to build Obama up and maybe you will be more successful.
What a bunch of idiots.
Sarah is a fake. I'm sorry about my son's comments but I dropped him on his head (several times).
LIES! LIES! LIES!
THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN IS A PACK OF LIARS! DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THEY WOULD TELL THE TRUTH IF THEY WERE IN OFFICE!
SPRING BREAK IN A BIKINI DOES NOT REALLY COUNT FOR A FOREIGN TRIP THAT MEANS ANYTHING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THIS WAR HERO HAS NO INTEGRITY!
JOHN MCCAIN–CAREER FIRST!
Another day, another McCain lie revealed. Just sad.
CNN why won't you report on the hypocrasy of the Republicans in attacking Biden's son? Thought families were off limits?
That's okay.
The leftists are sloganing that McCain's candidacy is four more years of GWB
and then they criticize you for being unfamilar with the BUSH Doctrine.
If you don't know GWB policy, how can you be MORE of the same???
Come on In and Make YOUR own POLICY, as all of us smart ones are SERIOUSLY TRYING TO Forget Bush's.
AND get started on that Washington GOP/DEM corruption while you are at it, will ya?
That is one POLICY most everyone will cheer you on!
Memo to Governor Palin: if you don't have any foreign policy experience just say so ... it's not a deal breaker. But when you lie about it you look like a fool & everyone sees Dick Cheney & the Bush administration all over again.
Stopping at an Iraqi border checkpoint isn't a foreign policy trip. Neither is stopping in Ireland to refuel your plane or vacationing in Mexico. The fact that you can see parts of Russia from Alaska doesn't mean you know Russian foreign policy. Stop pretending!
Hahahahaha!!! Hilarious! I can't wait to see what poster "A Nightingale Sings in ****** Square" has to say about this one. Who hasn't been to Mexico and Canada?? A fueling stop...the Iraqi border checkpoint. She's out of her league.
What's the point here? Anoher attempted "gotcha" on Sarah? The smear campaign continues. You people in the media are disgusting.
LIes, Lies and more lies to come.
Palin does not have any foreign experience. Did you see her interview with Charlie? She show that she has no confidence at all! If GOP wins this election, and God forbid something happen to McCain, that will be disaster! She is NOT ready.
What do you expect? If this woman and McCain are elected into office, what a calamity it'll be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They don't care what they say. And to be honest, neither do their supporters. They are blind and vote on faith - and when you do that, rationale goes out the window. There have been many points in history where that type of public ignorance has helped prolong corrupted government - and in some cases this false sense of patriotism and implied mandate of God has led to the complete dismantling of nations, rotting them from the inside out. Search wikipedia for fascism for examples.
Everyday, Americans will hear more lies coming out of the republicans,the short time spot light was good enough to put them up in the polls. But now look at the Cnn polls : Mccain is now up by one point instead of two. What does it mean? Are people slowly coming to their senses after being deceived by the PIG ON LIPSTICK?
How many other lies is she telling us! She is the wolf in sheeps skin!
WHAT ELSE DO PEOPLE EXPECT? REMEMBER THIS IS THE GOP YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! CONTINUALLY SAY THAT SEN OBAMA IS LYING BUT IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THE MCCAIN/PALIN HAS SAID THAT IS THE TRUTH?
If there are any Clinton supporters who are voting for Palin because she is a woman .. I think you are dishonoring Hilary in the worst way possible. Essentially what you are saying is that for all of her ( Hilary's ) work she has done over the years.. traveling and meeting heads of state, working for health care reform and all of the intellect that she has as a person and a woman,,, that for all of that and more all it comes down to for you is gender and that any woman no matter how unqualified she is will do. You where not supporting Hilary the person but just the woman and that is sad. This election is too important to come down to something as silly as simply selecting someone based on gender or race.I think the interview on ABC was terrifiyng at best.. when asked what kind of reform she would bring to Washington, her reply was to "find effiecenies in departments and agencies," that may well work for a compartmentalized state but we are talking about the federal goverment that is involved in global economies.I am a simple person from Brooklyn and I understand that ..it scares me to think that a person who is running for the VP of the United States doesn't and that the person running for the Presidency would pick her to be in that position. Enough!!
It's Over!!
what about sniper fire?
When will all these lies end?
Christians..................lay off all these lies
The republicans will say anything to get elected.
Americans are idiots john maccain are lyin to you and you believe in . Maccain palin are enjoyed they white skin color
obama losing because his not a white . Warning to u.s do evryyhing you want but becareful with Russia if maccain palin r planin to attack Russia because of Georgia . Russia is not Iraq if you believe in your forces to attack Russia you Wil never going to attack again . You can try and see .
Check out Sarah's wave-
"Sieg Heil" Sarah, we loath you!
haha Mcbush camp is full of lies....YOU MUST THINK AMERICANS ARE STUPID....NO YOU ARE STUPID MCBSHU/CHNY/PALIN
Oh I forgot to mention that she has a BIG MESS to clean in her yard and wants to use her mouth to clean up a mess at a national level? Hmmm...lacks judgement skills too
Dear God, did we not go just go through almost 8 years of an administration that lies and distorts facts?!! Do we really want more of the same ...
McCain the war hero and honorable man doesn't exist today. What a shame. I guess the end justifies the means.........do and say anything to get elected.
I had no problem with Sarah Palin except her obvious inexperience. But day by day, you begin to even wonder about her truthfulness.
Mavericks. NOT!
Oh for the days of "Sen. Straight Talk!"
So what else is in the closet?
For eight years we have been lied to and deceived. Why not sarah mccain for 4 more years of lies. As a woman I see John McCain picking this woman for strategy instead of what is best for this country.
We all know why the race is so close. If Barack was white he would win hands down. America will not admit we are stil a biased and racially challenged society. If americans felt issues were truly at the forefront of this campaign his skin color would not matter what he stands to do would. The news media has allowed the republican party to dictate what is reported and what is said for their advantage. I can remember when Barack first started every word was examined picked and dissected. Sarah Palin can stretch truths and its as if who cares what can be done about it.
Thankfully someone is putting the truth out there!
I seriously hope America takes notice of the lies and says "no more". We have had enough of the lies, Republicans, and it's time for this country to move forward...not backwards.
It may not be Hillary, but I'll take Obama over a lie any day.
Anyone surprised about another lie? If this is now wait until she is in office!
CNN reporters, you need to highlight these lies to American people. When you bring the republican supporters to your program, I observed you give them favor to speak and support those lies but don't give enough time to speak the truth to the Democrats. Are you in support of those lies? You need to bring out the truth, and the truth is republicans are playing the same old strategy which lier bush played, which carl rove played and playing now. Stop those lier who are dangerous for americans. Mccain and palin looks like to be proud after they say a lie. This is so insane. Stop them now.
What a surprise now we know she is a lier her and mcsame deserve one another both dont know how to tell the truth. Obama/Biden 2008-2012
Do they really think we are stupid? It's one lie after another. Very soon everybody will realize who they ( McCain-Palin) really are. I still can NOt believe people will vote for them. The McCains have 7 houses and there are people out there who are about to lose their ONLY one. Shameful!!
McCain-Palin are not specializing on straight talk at the moment...let's hope for a little more honesty in the weeks to come.
Women for Obama-Biden 08
CNN ...COME ON !!! Did you guys really believe that the american public is..so ignorant they would think that an average american mommy, soccer/hockey mom, only one in the home with a paycheck, would REALLY be viewed as someone who could lead the United States of America during this time in our history ??? One ..single..solitary....heartbeat or hiccup away,,from having to decide whether or not to start or engage in ....WW3 !!! OF COURSE NOT !!! Let's move on. ENOUGH of the trickery and misdirections. You.... CNN will also be one of those news oulets at fault for sinking the country if you do not confront the LIES and Deceit.
Bosnia snipped fire, Palin is dodging it too?
This is just unbelievable.
I don't know how ANYONE can support this pack and duo of lies.
Seems ole McSame and Moose burger have trouble remembering what they have done and not done.
Don't know what Republicans callit – but I call it lying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been to Canada and Mexico too. I've even visited every country at Epcot in Disney World. Does that give me enough foreign policy/relations experience to make me qualified to be VP?
Seriously, what education and experience does this woman have to qualify her to lead our country? Most every story that has come out about her has turned out to be a lie! Shouldn't truthfulness and INTEGRITY be qualiies we look for in our country's leadership?
It is so good to have open and honest reporting. GREAT JOBS to the ladies on the view because we are being moderated to death as bloggers on CNN.
CNN do you realize that you are the only one's that do this to the bloggers. MSNBC and FOX doesn't hold our blog posts up for hours.
I knew it was a one week fling for the conservatives. But now we are back to reality and I see no future for McCain-Palin ticket. The momentum is turning back to the Obama-Biden.
Typical republican way.. Say it as you go and fess up after you are caught. Obama all the way!!!
Obama/Biden '08
This figures.
She is a Made Up Story from the Republican Smear Machine.
She is not ready to leade our country
Why should we be surprised? Every single sentence and ad that comes out of the McCain/Palin campgain is a lie or at least bending the truth. We the american people deserve the truth and nothing less. I am ashamed of the kind of politics the McCain campain is running and he should be too.
A quick comparison on Sarah Palin and Paris Hilton:
Number of countries visited prior to 2006: Hilton: 42. Palin: ZERO
Number of countries visited since 2006: Hilton 14. Palin: 2
Number of foreign leaders met: Hilton: 8. Palin: ZERO
Amount of time under the pressure of the whole world looking at you and judging your decisions: Hilton: all her life: Palin: a few weeks.
Experience dealing with the national press and knowledge of current affairs: Hilton EXTENSIVE. Palin MINIMAL.
Conlcusion:
Paris Hilton is more qualified than Sarah Palin for being VP.
McCain/Hilton 08!
In short, Sarah Palin is as world-traveled as I am. And I am not qualified to be VP.
How many times do you let your children get away with lying?
How many times do you let your friends and/ family get away with lying?
How many times do you let your partner get away with lying?
How many times do you let your senator, governor or president get away with lying?
Will you let the McCain campaign get away with these "little white lies"? If so, prepare yourself for at least 4 more years of the major one- akin to "there are WMD in Iraq".
I wonder also if she received any sniper shot!!! Nice foreign experiance trial
All you people out there that is voting for McSenile are down right stupid. You can not see that McSenile and his running mate are more of the same if not worse. All the lying they have done on there own recorded and then falsely accusing Obama. If America puts McSenile and Palin in the roosters will come home to roost and it will be on your shoulders. Old white women who cares about our country.I am counting on our young to get out and vote for the only chance this country has ,Obama/Biden.
Connie from Indiana
Doesn’t the truth count for anything anymore? John McCain’s campaign ads are filled with falsehoods which, even when challenged by reporters and factcheck.org, continue to be repeated. Is this the way McCain will act as President? Isn’t this what got us into the Iraq War – falsehoods and exaggerations repeated endlessly as fact? I am disappointed in John McCain. He has not put “Country First.” He’ll do and say anything to get elected.
Well you know she's lying when her lips are moving.
Most Americans have more international experience than this woman! I'm truly dumbfounded that the American people not only accept but rejoice in her potential as vice-president. 15 years ago had she been chosen fellow repubs as well as independents would have backed the opposition in record numbers!
It's amazing to see how far this country has fallen relative to the high standards we use to hold politicians too, and how low our collective self-esteem has fallen that we would take a chance on such an unqualified political hack to someday act as our president.
God, Allah, Buddha...whoever...please forgive us!
McCain and Pailin backed by Bush trained operatives keep exaggerating facts and are lying to the American public. Ultimately the truth will surface. Hopefully, they will be throughly exposed before the November elections by in-depth media coverage like CNN.
Maybe the RNC needs to start another counting ticker on how long it's been since their vice-presidential nominee actually traveled to Iraq or Afghanistan (and by traveled I mean did something more noteworthy than stop at a border checkpoint). How do you count down from never?
Governor Palin can spout her so-called energy/national security credentials all she wants (the pipeline she didn't build, the drilling in ANWR she hasn't been able to push through, etc) but the fact remains that she has no relevant experience when it comes to foreign policy. And no, living within a couple hundred miles of the Siberian end of Russia doesn't count. Show me a single time when Governor Palin has had to deal directly with the Russian government on an issue pertaining to the security of her state, and maybe I'll believe her argument have some merit. Otherwise, her claim as arrogant and frighteningly naive as President Bush's statement that he was able to look into Vladamir Putin's eyes and get a sense of his soul.
McCain's allies like to say that Barack Obama has no relevant foreign policy experience either, but that, like some many other things coming out of their mouths these days, is a blatant LIE. Obama led discussion on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has helped to author and sponsor legislation to prevent nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists, and toe to toe on equal footing with the current leaders of this world. Most importantly, he has routinely shown the kind of judgment and respect that our president needs to demonstrate on the international stage, a fact not lost even on the Bush administration, which seems to be taking its cue from him these days. McCain is left alone upholding the failed and outdated Bush doctrine (which Palin cannot even define).
At this most critical time in our history, we cannot afford to have the next potential vice-president of the United States be a neophyte on both domestic and foreign policy, particularly when she is running with a 72 year old man with an increasingly unreliable memory and a history of health problems. So get this through your heads: Governor Palin is NOT unqualified because of her gender – she is unqualified because she has NO RELEVANT EXPERIENCE to hold the second highest office in this land. And if the day comes when the American people, including her swooning followers, need to rely on her for something more than a snarky zinger on the campaign trail, then God help us all.
This campaign is just hilarious. Oh, how the lies are being spewed out onto the American people.
It's all unraveling. Every day we get closer to the election, the more I am comforted with the fact that Obama/Biden will win, and as Clinton said, win HANDILY!
What happened to McCain? He used to be an honorable man and now is a despicable candidate who would do anything to become president. Anyone who has half of a brain will be able to see through his personal agenda. He doesn't care about the country, he only wants to be president before he die.
This woman is insufferable!
Just make her go away – preferably to jail.
As far as I can see, her only virtue is to convince people like me, who had planned to cast a No-Clinton protest vote for McCain, that I have to vote for Obama.
Painful for me, but I'll do it if I have to. And it looks like I have to.
This is outrageous. And to think that people believe that McCain and her really care about Iraqis, not to mention the troops.
Obama does care and that is why I am supporting him this November!!!
The Lies keep on flowing.
Why won't the MSM call it what it is? LIES.
Moose hunter is now the hunted!
Gov. Palin told Charlie Gibson she had not been to Iraq. Didn't CNN watch the interview?
I see that CNN's giving Roland Martin 2 hours tonight and tomorrow night to campaign for Obama. We won't be watching. We have seen Roland campaign for Obama for 19 months now.
She has across border experiance, just like she did it with Russia from Alaska. Interesting....
Ah, more lies. When will the American people wake up and realize that this is all the GOP has to offer? More lies, deceit, and desperation. I for one am done hearing trumped up stories of heroism and patriotism. I want leadership who actually care about the American people, rather than holding on to whatever thread of power they have left.
NO MORE LIES
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
My my my, what else have the not told the truth about or streched the truth about or leave it to the people to draw their own conclusion which would be wrong.
This just gets better all the time. The more the media digs, the more this smells.
Sarah Paliin is not only an expert on Russia, but Canada as well because you can see Canada when you are landing in Juneau, Alaska's capital. I is hard to tell exactly how many times she has directly repelled the invasions from both of these countries, but because of her I sleep well at night.
Well it looks Palin is just the latest distraction that the McCain camp has put up. The sad part is that way too many of our fellow independents are falling for this crap. You can understand the far right believing this, after all they still think the world was "created" only 4000 years ago. Wake up folks before you do the same stupid thing you did in 2000 and 2004.
America are talking walking like an regular folks but you got a big bullet in brain .
That means you are stupid idiots special the media CNN msnbc abc
How many more shoes have to drop? It's hard to imagine someone running for the second office in the land a) not even knowing which foreign countries she's visited, and b) having only been out of the country once, and to just two countries. It just boggles the mind.
The Republicans have been caught in so many lies so early in the campaign. Their integrity has been shot. Must be a bunch of amateurs running the campaign.
Lies on top of lies. As someone who supported you in 2000 Mr. McCain I'm deeply disturbed by who you have become. To leave your honor at the doorstep of this election says a lot about you.
Why is it necessary to lie? Where did the Maverick go? Sad, sad!
If she get elected, she will fire whoever she wants to as she fired her family enemy from a very responsible position. She eill not care about you and me, she cares about her. She is a flip flopper. DOn't you see it?
the funny part is, republican voters don't care that they are eletcting a man who has become a habitual liar to win a campaign.
as for the Democrats, the entire party needs to move toward the center and find a way to be more productive.
Obama 08
I hope all the Americans get to know her with all this lies
McCain is a liar and this is just the latest example of a lie from McCain. I have voted Republican all my life and this election will be the first time I vote Democrat. This is because whether Democrat or Republican I will NOT vote for a liar.
Is it surprise, NO. Because since she was choosen as VP, she was just lying , lie, after lie.
This is what most blind Americans want to vote to White House. They tenure will be worst than George Bush.
Really, how many more lies to we have to take from Palin and McCain? At this point it seems that they are incapable of saying anything that is true and are just content to try to dupe the American public into voting them into the White House. Are these the type of people we really want running the country? Two that will lie and do anything just to get elected? It's becoming harder and harder to believe McCain when he says that he wants to serve his country when he and his running mate consistently lie to the American public.
Someone..plz tell me one thing the McCain campaign has said about Sarah Pailin which is true... Plz somone...
The McCain Campaign is spewing lie after lie after lie. Is this the kind of president we want? Isn't 7+ years of nothing but lies, lies, lies enough?
Wake up America!
If you're able to SEE Russia from your doorstep, that undoubtedly gives you a solid perspective (no pun intended) on international affairs.
Has Sarah considered what it would mean to confront and maybe go to war with the Russian bear when she said we needed to accelerate (that was implied in her statement) Georgia's entry into Nato? Is she even AWARE of the powershifts, both economic and militarily, over the past 8, and the past 25 years?
Apart from being socially regressive, she is unfit for the job. The Republicans, and the US, are taking a huge gamble. Bill Clinton would have said they are 'rolling the dice'.
And I'm not even talking about the dishonesty of the campaign.
It was across the border kind of experiance, just like the one she had from Alaska about Russia
THATS A VERY IMPRESSIVE RESUME! we are screw if they ever get elected.
ObamaBiden 08
John McCain will do, and as were seeing say anything to win. How sad. An independent Nevada voter.
What else are we going to find out about this VP choice? It is very scarey. It seems to us everything is a lie. If I was repulican, I would just take her off right now, not later.
The lies just keep coming!
SMEARS!LIES!SILENCE OF ISSUES! I am not voting for that. I want to be able to buy groceries and gas and not worry about what I have to let go to have both. I want America to be like the USA basketball dream team and bring home the gold. Just as they placed America back on top of the world stage then so should American morals, dignity, self respect and believing in America should be placed there to. In order to achieve this JUST SAY NO TO 4 MORE YEARS OF FAILURES!BLOOPERS!BLUNDERS!NO BUSH/CHENEY/MCPALIN!
Sleazy? The Obama hacks are calling McCain's campaign sleazy? Jerk Obama was blindsighted by McCain's pick of Palin and they haven't recovered yet – anything and everything they can use against Palin and McCain they will. My absteen ballot will be coming in the mail soon and all I have to say is NO OBAMA, NO WAY, NO HOW.
She is not even smart enough to know that you don't tell public lies that are easily uncovered. She is such a joke! Hillary would run circles around her.
Okay, yet another lie. This woman once again is not ready to lead the nation. She is following the McCain Doctrine of lie, lie, lie until we sucker every potential voter.
Obama/Biden 08
Amazing,
it gets better and better everyday
Has this woman ever told the whole truth about ANYTHING?
LIes, lies and more lies.Palin is fooling Americans beyond imagination,
mure of the same liesssssssssssss
McCain should have picked Hillary since he admired her so much. The election would be over by now. Every week is another lie from her. Disgusting
What will they not lie about? This party has failed us and it looks like we will reward them with 4 more years in which they can lie and steal from us. Go America!
As usual, exaggerations and lies from a worn-out GOP that has little to say and less to offer. I guess making stuff up is a hard habit to break.
Palin cannot or does not know what the truth is! How can you either not know something like this or just flat out lie about it? But then what should we expect:
Bridge to Nowhere
Town of 6000 or so with 22 million in debt
A pipeline that will never get built, although listening to her it is ready to turn on.
197 Million in earmarks THIS YEAR alone!
And the list goes on.
How can she just bald face lie about all this? Either she really believes what she is saying or is incredibly cynical and thinks we are all stupid. Either way, even the Republicans need to take a good, hard look at her and I don't mean the way McCain lears at her either.
Look, I'm an independent, but there is no way I will vote for McCain with Palin on the ticket. Although John McCain has done his level best to lose my vote also.
If the media had not picked on the roumors going on about her baby, se probably would have provided the news herself-–in the line of who is actually the mother of the baby now that we know lots of previous info is taking new shape.
You are aware, aren't you, that biased articles like the above are seen by many readers as unworthy of CNN, a news entity that USED TO be a great resource of information for my household.
I've already stopped turning on MSNBC, and CNN is going to be dropped if things don't change on both your webpage and the TV program if CNN continues in this mode.
PLEASE go back to reporting the news. STOP all this commentary! If I want biased articles and commentary, I'll get it somewhere else. I think I'm smart enough to think for myself! Just the facts, CNN, just the facts.
It seems that once more we have a high-profile politician caught in a web of lies and deceit. We have become numbed to such political characteristics and consider them par for the course. Many years ago, the people's representatives were honorable men and women. We can now consider such representation a thing of the distant past. Mrs. Palin offers no honor to the position that she wishes to hold.
Well, well, well..........another dare we say, lie, from the McCain camp! How can you stare down a head of state since you have never even met one. Her foreign policy experience is laughable, and, I am sure Russia is laughing the loudest after her interview with Gibson.
OBAMA – BIDEN 2008
WHILE THE LIES JUST KEEP COMING, , , AND AS MORE FRAUD IS EXPOSED, , , , THE "EVANGELICAL RELIGIOUS-RIGHT" KEEP PROPPING UP PALIN AS THE NEXT MESSIAH. . . . . NO MATTER HOW MANY LIES ARE DISCOVERED.
TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, THEY ARE LOOKING AT AMERICANS IN SHOCK OF OUR FOOLISHNESS.
THINK PEOPLE, THINK!! McACIN AND PALIN ARE A DISASTER THAT WILL EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE THE CURRENT BUSH DISASTER!!
Surprise! Another Lie!
These people are pathetic liars ... country first my foot!
Shameful .....
i am sick to death of mc cain and palin's campaign using the cover
of disasters to leak out pieces of information on palin that would
otherwise be terribly damaging. as ike rolls through they slip this
under the radar that she flat-out lied again and this time about iraq. she nor mc cain show the august respect for the office they seek and the profound gravity of our country's history, its people and responsibility in the world. this is going to flame-out if the repug's can't keep us distracted
with thinking this campaign is a variation of "surviror or american idol".
Well, there's lie #1 "reluctantly" cleared up by the McCain campaign – there are dozens and dozens more awaiting the same clarification....I have a feeling I'll be waiting a LOOONNGGG time.
She most probably has seen Palestine and Israel on TV. I guess that counts as foreign policy experience too !!!
What has happened to the people of this country. Don't they think anymore ??
Oops, another lie.
Have to say it: I'm not surprised!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a joke. Nice job, McInsane!
WE Need real leadership, not policial oppertunism to run our country. This woman has no feeling for the real problems facing our country. She is not trustworthy, from the lies or "exagerations' that seem to float around her all the time..
Okay, so now they are trying to become clean on SOME of the lies. Spare me please. The repubs are something else. Win by any means necessary!???This is so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama & Biden are talking issues, but they have to address all these lies told on them.
I believe Sarah Palin is a big liar and is very dangerous. I would not turn my back on her. I've learned to analyze her every word that leaves room to come to two or more conclusions. Some have already been revealed, but I wish someone would check out her "involvement", if any, in the PTA. She told us that she "Signed up for the PTA because she cared about what was going on in her child's school"..(or something to that effect). I wonder just how visible/active she was in the PTA. If one finds she wasn't active, she may not be a liar, IF she "signed' up. I just don't trust her!!
Wow! Why did they llie about this then? Can we really trust them if they are capable of lying abou something like this? And the nereve to question Obama's foreign experience.
be not in haste, the list will grow geometrically. excuse me, what else do u expect. i bet if mcsane or was it mcsame be vetted properly, the lies on his side will stinkingly explode. what still marvels me is that some people who call themselves peace loving and upright church going americans 'xtians' still see reason to support such a man. what u have is what u give . mcsame is full of deceipt , lies, hate and this is exactly what he is gonna over americans be he elected. make no mistake.
Surprise, surprise.
well, I must admit its like hillary running from sniper fire
Another lie! Should change Country First to Lie First.
McCain is a good man and being managed by bad people. If he could just break away from the Neo-cons, I just might be able to vote for him. Unfortunately, I think they have their claws too deeply embedded for him to escape their control. Too bad!!!
Another lie??? First the Bridge to Nowhere now this. Wait until they get around to reporting that as mayor she DID have a roll in her township deciding to charge victims for their own rape kit. That will be the one that brings the house of cards down.
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
My money is still on McCain/Pailin...the American people have been lied to for so long and in so many ways I believe that many of them are impervious to the truth
That's it folks....i have decided today to go for OBAMA / BIDEN ticket, cannot take anymore GOP lies.
Goodluck to all fellow americans.
what a joke. it's funny now that all the so called white's voting for obama is throwing him under the bus for the great white dope. lol, im cracking up here. there would rather destroy this country than let a black man run it. and people say racism is dead. right. this country is doomed. america is not great anymore, and hasnt been for decades. isolating us from the world is not going to be a good thing, especially when all the jobs are going overseas. thanks gop. what a grand old party you are.
Lying about experience to get a job. That is what they are doing!!
What a surprise! Another lie from Sarah Palin. It would be less work and save time if the media reported only when she told the truth. But then they'd be left with nothing to say.
It's funny how people seem to be searching for reasons to support Palina and reasons to not support Obama. It gets me wondering if this is about issues only.
I am increasing concerned about the state of our democracy and the our free press. Where is the outrage? The McCain/Palin campaign is filled with lies and deceit. Why is this story buried here and not on the front page? Yet another lie you have not made a headline, what gives?

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Such a fraud. Lies, lies and more lies. Let her keep talking. The more she opens her mouth, the more she proves she is so unqualified to be Vice President, let alone President. She should stick to local politics and leave the national scene alone. What the heck was McCain thinking when he chose this woman?! Like Obama said, "they must think we're stupid". Both of them are starting to be one great big pain in the you know what.
No McPain
No Pa(L)in
Yes Obama
Yes Biden
The Republican campaign, McCaine and Palin seem now to be weaving a more tangled web that started with the crazy hype over Palin and which is just deteriorating into fact checking that is showing that Palin is not who she is claiming to be. Do they think we are that stupid and that the truth eventually comes out? It's insulting. How is her crazy record supposed to help anyone in this election? It's incredibly annoying and yet surprising that people are staunch in their denial that Sarah Palin doesn't exactly come with a clean or competent record. Quite honestly, her performance is starting to smell of the abuse of power that is rampant in small organizations and where there is really no one looking over her shoulder. Who needs this in Washington or anywhere else?
How McCain can bash Obama on foreign policy experience.. then defend Palin's experience... which consists of about as much experience as someone taking a vacation... is beyond me. How many faces can this guy have? I don't fault Palin here.. she's just being used to win votes.
Do you hire someone who lies on his or her resume? Not a chance.
Thank God for John McCain and Sarah Palin. At least there are two people who are not in this race for themselves but for the American people.
McCane has no control of his campaign. He would be a terrible president. Conservatives for Obama!
Can you say "miss statement" ??? Give me a break!
These lies just keep getting better and better. Mr. Maverick
your cowardly support for this lady is not only disingenuous
but a pure slap in the face to women of integrity and the very
country you wish to represent. Brilliant!
Obama/Biden 2008
There Is Nothing The Mccain Camp Is Not Lying About! Mccain Is Running The Most Cynical, Sleazy Campaign In Modern Politics! Period!
AND THAT'S NOT'S ALL FOLKS OBAMA/BIDEN 08
I'm glad there's some fact checking going on here and by the way, foreign policy experience doesn't mean vacation trips to Cancun and Canada or a view of Russia. If that was true, I'd be a foreign policy expert ten times over Palin. But let's face it, Palin is just out there to suck up all the media attention away from McCain and all of his McLame ideas.
Typical lying scum Republican.
Wow..This is just another big skeleton being let out of the closet. Mccain/palin could do anything just to get those foolish ones vote out there..Sorry McBush/Palgore you now finally lost my vote..I will vote Obama..Your Bush counter-part has done enough and I can't see you continue again..
Palin is a mess
Another lie? Why am I not surprised?
That's the honorable McCain for you.
LIES>>>>>LIES>>>
These are trivial lies, but they speak to the character of the candidate and to the character of the man who chose this candidate.
Many children lie occasionally, but sometimes you meet a child who lies from habit, who lies even when it isn't necessary, who lies obsessively. Pain and McCain are two of those. Indeed they are soulmates.
If you enjoyed being lied to by Nixon and by Bush, you'll love the McCain administration.
This woman can see Russia from Alaska, but has never been there. She has "executive experience" and has commanded Alaska's National Guard, but what decisions has she made in 1.5 years? Claiming sexism will not shield her forever. How can you have a world view without seeing the world?
This is staggering. Every day a new lie is uncovered about McCain and Palin. When will we finally all agree we've had enough of these lying scoundrels who've run our country into the ground? Vote this party in again, and there's no turning back from the unspeakable trail this country has been blazing with the Repubs for far too long.
Take back our country from the lying thieves. Vote McCain and kiss our country goodbye.
Such a liar!!!! Just like Hilliary running from "snipper" fire in Boznia!!! Republicans will say anything to get elected! It's pathetic
Ok, this is a flat out lie. She led us to believe she VISITED the troops in Iraq.
And for McCain to make such a big deal of Obama not visiting Iraq in 9 months (he had already been) and to make light of her lying is really hypocritical. This woman is a fraud.
If you or I are caught lying on our resume we get fired. She has lied about some pretty big things. And the fact that she didn't even have the curiosity (even though she had the means) to leave this country until last year (knowing she was being considered for VP slot) tells me she is not only not ready to be VP but is a complete joke of a VP candidate.
Sound like a snippergate to me.
Let the lies be heard! Thank you for freedom of speech, CNN! The American voters need to wake up! If Palin and McCain lie to the American people now, can you imagine the amount of lies we will hear IF they are elected? Republicans, Democrats, and Independents...UNITE! Vote for Obama!
It has been said that she lies with great ease. Wha telse has she lied about, what else don't we know about this woman? Democrats thank you John McCain! For Sarah Palin – the gift that keeps on giving.
Pailn is not qualified.!!!
brutal .. this woman is a joke
WOW..This is beyond laughable. So many Americans seem to be naive to the fact that the Republicans are taking them for a ride. How can they believe anything coming out of the REP campaign when Karl Rove is navigating the ship??? Being surprised at lies coming from liars is like questioning why up is up
the pattern emerges: flood the zone and hope the press doesn't catch up with you. and attack them as biased or stalkers when they do.
I am still in shock that Sen mcain could pick someone a breath away from the presidency with little experience and extreme views on issues to be President. Her true positions not political positions on important issues for the american people are not known, so how can we feel safe in the event she becomes president. God help us and save us from bad leadership.
LIES LIES LIES.
and YOU WANT THIS TO BE YOUR LEADER?
GOOD LUCK
Okay, so is Palin still a woman, or do we have yet another surprise ahead of us? So far, that seems to be the only two "facts" about the Republican ticket: the gender of the candidates.
While terrorists look to destroy us and our possible president is 72 with a history of malignant melanoma...the VP's foreign policy experience consists of visiting Kuwait, and going to Canada and Mexico on vacation.
God help us if McCain gets elected. All partisanship aside, just...wow.
Okay, so now that the lies have been exposed, can we please have a debate about the issues?
Here is an issue:
John McCain and Sarah Palin are liars!
The American public has been misled for the last 8 years by a Republican administration. If they are doing this during the campaign, just imagine what they will lie about if they get more power!
Its about time both campaigns begin taking the high road to honesty.
We are all ;as undecided voters..... waiting to hear which candidates will address the issues that impact our everyday lives. That's what will determine whose the best candidate to lead this great country!
Polls mean nothing. I could vote 5 times for the same candidate, on a single poll and no one would ever know. So, in my humble opinion, candidates focus more on the issues and let the campaign folks worry bout polls.
WE WANT TO HEAR THE ISSUES FROM THE HEADS......
Wake up. This is reality, not a "reality" show. The woman is a prop for the Republicans' latest adventure in La La Land. Palin is distracting eye candy at best. I do suspect if you took a lick, you'd taste war paint. At worst, she's compromised her way to the top, and isn't afraid to lie to get power.
i've been to more countries than this lady, and i'm nineteen years old
stop lying. start solving problems. democrat '08
The lying is really getting ridiculous from McCain...its time for you to take him to task CNN. In the interests of the nation, we need at least a fighting chance of making an informed decision....make him tell us what he intends to do to fix this country. And don't let him get away with just saying "Reform!" or "Create Jobs!"....we need to know HOW!!!
Now if the staff of the mental institute will just flip the switch and start the electroshock therapy before November 4th.
Here we go again.... This lady is a complete fraud.
McCain and Palin are in the gutter. I expected a lot more from John McCain. No "Straight Talk" from him anymore. The ex Bush advisors have taken over. It's too bad. I used to respect him. Not anymore.
what else did you expect after 8 years of lying, the same you will get for the next 4 years if these 2 get in.
obama please just keep hammering away u gotta do it by yoself and u can cause yes we can!!!
"Americans are starting to wonder, is there anything the McCain campaign isn't lying about?”
My goodness! People, please think clearly, we cannot afford to mess this one up!
Foreign policy experience = Vacation to Mexico and Canada = Qualification to be the Vice President of the United States
OK, I think I get it. I visited both Mexico and Canada. I have a world map on my wall. I know where Russia is located at. I declare myself ready. I want to be the pig that wears the McCain/Palin lipstick.
We were supposed to buy it all, too.
So arrogant to take us all for stupid.
Shame on the GOP.
Ouch. My enthusiasm for her pick as VP has really gone downhill this past week. If McCain's PR people could just buckle down and do their jobs right, we would have a good, solid Republican campaign. Palin doesn't need to be Superman, and that's what they keep trying to make her into.
Palin has memorized many talking points which she keeps repeating over and over . Whenever she is asked a question, she pulls out one of her talking points because she does not know the answer. Her ideas are that of the 1960s. Her thought pattern is of that era. I believe McCain chose her because his mindset is of that time period. They are both of the 1960s. It is regrettable that American women are identifying with her. Seems like they are yearning to go back to the 60s.
Palin does not have enough education and experience. She does not have the temperament and poise for this job.
She may have visited Canada, but as a TOURIST !!!!
Cause she would have had to travel a ways to find another
Liberal like her !!
No Liberals in the West.
I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE MEDIA . . .
Not because they are digging up dirt. (Leave that to the tabloids). But because the media has honorably taken up the responsibility to do the job McCain's organization has purposely and "effectively" left undone.
McCain is the oldest Presidential nominee to run for POTUS, but he has constant bouts with cancer. Extra effort should have been done to ensure the Republican V.P. was thoroughly vetted to be POTUS in case McCain never made it to the swearing in ceremony.
McCAIN'S JUDGMENT AND WISDOM MAKES HIM "NOT QUALIFIED" TO BE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. McCAIN HAS PUT POLITICS AHEAD OF THE NATION'S INTEREST.
Does 12 feet make a difference as to political experience? Come on, this is non-news, and I think both sides would agree.
She likely saw the troops more than Obama.
If Obama is about change in DC why is his VP pick someone that has been there over almost 40 years????? That is real change.
He could have picked Hillary and than that would have been some change.
Someone please tell her to quit waiving like a beauty queen.
.... and she can see Russia from the Governor's office!
Exaggerations and bold-faced lies are part and parcel of the "fear and smear" party.
What really annoyed me today was the report that McCain voted the same as Obama on an issue in the Senate but is using Obama's vote in a Spanish speaking ad attacking Obama!
Already the news is " McCain defends ...... " whatever the issue is this hour – sounds like a replay of the Bush administration to me!
Don't lie to me.
The worms are now really coming out of the woodwork!! All the lies, plus ongoing investigations back in her home state, plus all those words uttered directly from her mouth – they are sufficient even to scare Cheney and Rumsfeld!!! Yeah, sanctions on Russia, fight to defend Georgia – where did this hawk crawl out from? The rest of the world is shuddering to think that Americans could even consider such an ignorant and unknowledgeable person for the highest office in the land – yes, that's right, highest, because she is just a heart beat away, and seeing the old man ploddering alongside her, reinforces the truth of how effective he would be. Save us from this kind of hell before it is too late.
Day after day I wonder, why does McCain need to lie about Palin? Did she lie to him? The old McCain seemed honorable and trustworthy, now he doesn't. This is sad
when Bush was called a lightweight, he was backed up by Cheney. here, cynically, they're putting the lightweight behind someone they believe won't live out his term.
My God........I do not believe i am actaully reading this.......i was stopped reading and this made me angry.......what is going on which i do not know where the american people are not aware of this lies ............ oh God.....what happened to us....... this is an insult to us........ all lies ..........she should be thankful of the media for not vetting her........are we going to fall in the hands of this women ....................... God protect us pls
Does this woman tell the truth about anything?
where did mccain find this idiot!!! did anybody see the charlie gibson interview omg
AMERICANS HAD BETTER WAKE THE HELL UP..AND SOON. ESPECIALLY WHITE WOMEN ACROSS THIS COUNTRY WHO VOTE REPUBLICAN.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON VOTING FOR MCCAIN AND PALIN, WHO HAS NO EXPERIENCE WHATSOEVER THAT QUALIFIES HER FOR THE 2ND MOST POWERFUL JOB IN THE COUNTRY, AND POSSIBLY THE FIRST, DO NOT SAY THAT YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CHILDREN, THEIR FUTURES AND YOUR COUNTRY FIRST. BULL!
MCCAIN IS USING PALIN AS HIS CAMPAIGN BARBIE DOLL AND AFTER ALL THE STRIDES THAT WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE MADE OVER THE YEARS, IT WILL BE A HUGE LEAP BACKWARDS IF THEY ARE ELECTED. THE IGNORANCE OF WOMEN ACROSS THIS COUNTRY IS ASTOUNDING.
MCCAIN AND PALIN WANT ONLY ONE THING....TO WIN AT ANY COST!
THEY HAVE TAKEN THE PHRASE "COUNTRY FIRST" AND MADE IT MEANINGLESS...JUST WORDS.
Cnn would have run this lie in loops if it was Hillary or obama! Your not even talking about the facts that he said Rov v Wade should never have gone into law, that it was a bad law says Mccain on the view! You see he was in the upper bracket in income, and any female in his family could afford to go over sea for an abortion! His relatives wouldn't have had to take a back ally abortion that killed women, and the bleeding and lack of oxegon left moms dead. Young girls and women doing home rememdies to abort their unwanted children from rape and incest during those years before Rov v wade! Let me remind you of the health care cost of women comeing into the emergency rooms with botched abortions, or home remedies that destroyed their bodies and often in the end killed a lot of women, and babies ! Is this what john mccain wish's upon every women in the U.S, to go backk to the old days, and women dieing all over america?
But don't forget Alaska is soooo close to Russia (...) if that doesn't make her an expert of foreign affairs, what does?
I wonder how much longer we'll see US tourists travelling over here who in public pretend to be Canadian. Listening to Mrs. Palins view of the world it'll take a while.
My 2¢ from Berlin
What a schock. Another lie from the Rebublicans. That is all they can do. A bunch of lying, lawbreaking right wing zealots whose only hope of winning is lies and false ads and hoping voters are stupid, which unfortunately many of them are.
And more lies continue to surface....the lie campaign is what is it....disgusting and dishonorable...that's the McSame/Failin ticket.
Obama/Biden
Oh, boy.
Wow! This unplanned vice pregnancy keeps giving. Poor McCain, being pro-life, has to carry it to full term.
The good lord doeth have a sense of humor.
ah , you just can't believe anything she says. did you see the report that she is not releasing emails claiming executive privilege. sounds an awful lot like Bush-Cheney-Rove practices.
Once again the McCain campaign shows how pathetic they are. They will lie, cheat and steal in order to win this election.
How can Sarah Palin be an agent of change?!! In her first two years as Governor she put in EARMARK requests totaling almost a HALF OF A BILLION DOLLARS. She never sold the Jet on ebay...In fact, she didn't even come up with the idea since the Alaska state government had been auctioning big ticket items on ebay well before she became governor. It doesn't end though...The Chef that she "let go" is still collecting a salary...What am I missing? I know my facts are correct. Why do people still defend her?
WOW, they're not even in the White House yet and they're lying.
Now is the time, now is the moment to erase the media frinzie of this young, very inexperienced, governor. Take back this campaign by forcing the Republicans to face the issues instead of looking at the faces and emptiness of their so called platform. Now is the time to continue the charge you have began because Barack Obama is truly our ownly hope for a future that will allow our grandchildren to grow up in a safe, responsible country that puts them first. YES WE CAN!!!
I believe the republicans will try any means necessary to win this election.One thing I know is Obama has already been ordained by God.He is just going through the formalities.
Clarksville, TN
At this point, after her string of lies and distortions, I wouldn't giver her the benefit of the doubt on any statement. It seems like they're lying about anything and everything, even things that wouldn't even matter.
CNN – please stop opening topics for comments, and then never posting the comments!
Why is the common conversation about how Palin did in her interview with Gibson – 'well she did better than I would do' or 'most people that I know couldn't answer that either'. Shouldn't the comparison be to other potential VP picks?!?! How do you think Pawlenty or Jindal or Ridge would have fared in that interview? Or even any randon governor? I think the answer is that her performance was subpar compared to those others. And that's just not good enough for someone campaigning to be VP.
Man you guys are in the tank for Obama. Where is your story about Obama mocking John McCain's war wounds? Eh Campbell?
Really, I have visited more countries than her as average american business man.
Please media continue to explore and reearch everything that she has said because she LIES or speaks in HALF TRUTHS! Never, I have I been more frustrated as I am now because of the LIES on half of the McCain Campaign! They lie so much that I wonder if they know what the TRUTH is, some "Christian" she is? Or maybe the 10 commandments don't apply to the McCain Campaign!
Alaska receives more earmarks than most states yet. She hired a lobbyist as mayor to get MORE! Again, she must have the belief that it doesn't apply to her but to everyone else!
Look at Alaska high school drop out rate
Look at their education system
Look at their health care system
Look at their values, drill oil at ANY cost who cares about the environment ...with Palin in office POLARS BEARS will be an animal of the past, right along with dinosaurs!
Obama-Biden 2008, the real Change!
PWNED!
Obama for the win!
I do believe that Sarah and McCain are the biggest liars in this campaign. When will the truth get out that she is only educated in a BS degree and it took her 6 years to obtain that....not to mention she did not have any hornors in getting this m,inor degree. I cannot imagine someone with such little experience answering that call at 3:00 AM....Please help us all.....
How many lies is this now?
Wake up America. Are we going to relpace a group of liars, with another group of liars. This is getting more and more interesting. When you vote "D Student" into to office this is what you get. The GOP is good at repeating lies until something sticks. They could cares less if it is true or not, because they have no issues to run on. The News Media will help the GOP because it boost their ratings. How sick this sounds, but it is true. Fair and Balance for who. Wake up America this is going around the World, other counties are watching us. A lie does'nt care who tells it, as long as it is believed. Palin is digging a bigger hole for the GOP to climb out of. No shame in her game is it.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12
As falsehoods go, these are small change, but they do reflect a lamentable tendency by the McCain campaign to misrepresent Governor Palin's achievements and experience. Enough already. Change we can believe in? I don't think so.
You know in the past when people were caught padding their resume' they got fired and were laughed out of town (Brownie). I guess this year the republicans think that padding your resume' is the norm.
What's next, she ducked sniper fire from Russia in the northern Alaska territory.
If you lie about the littlest things... well.
Scary.
Obama/Biden '08
The McCain has changed to campaign of liers.
WE ARE GOING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS LIER. SOON AND VERY SOON. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
Wasn't this a mortal sin when Hillary said she made a corkscrew landing in Bosnia to avoid Anti-aircraft fire? All Republican Hillary Haters should now drop their support for Palin, the exagerator. Like they won't be the hippocrites they are on this & every faux pas by "their people": the patriotic & blessed.
The lies just continue to pile up. It's apparent that the McCain campaign is grasping at straws in order to justify the selection of an obviously inexperienced candidate.
Lying and distortions again and again. McCain/Palin have no honor.
Now this has me worried. McCain wants to raise my taxes AND take away my health insurance. Per FactCheck.org:
• Under the McCain heath care plan, workers would be taxed on the value of any employer-paid health benefits, partially offsetting the $5,000 credit for those now covered by such plans.
• Experts say a tax credit plan like this would likely cause companies to reduce or eliminate health benefits for their employees.
McCain = high taxes, no health insurance
America, can you afford 4 more years of this???
Palin is such a liar. There is not one ounce of truth in her body.
Lies..Lies.. are catching up to Hockey (Pittbull/Dog) Mom!!!!!!
Come on, please give us all a break and get rid of this ridiculous woman......it's getting to be beyond a joke now!!!!!
She has absolutely no credibility on anything, where in heaven's name does this constant lying STOP!!!!!
COUNTRY FIRST at all costs Senator McCain, you should be ashamed to use those words!
Someone tell me who's going to answer the 3am phone when the white house has morning sickness , from one end of the hallway to the other, everyone having babies, no contraceptives are allowed.
IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY IT'S A MAN'S WORLD. THE NUMBER OF WOMEN WHO ARE VOTING FOR MCCAIN JUST BECAUSE HE PUT AN INEXPERIENCED, UNQUALIFIED WOMAN ON THE TICKET IS PATHETIC.
MCCAIN, WHO WAS ONCE A ROLE MODEL, HERO, MAN OF CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SELF-ABSORBED, ARROGANT, POWERHUNGRY ELITIST WHO WILL LIE, CHEAT, DISGRACE HIMSELF AND HIS COUNTRY TO WIN.
WE ARE FAST BECOMING A NATION OF FOOLS AND THAT IS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE ALWAYS COUNTED ON, ESPECIALLY WITH WOMEN VOTERS.
WAKE UP!
WOW! This is getting good. Republicans unite...in admiting that mccain made a huge mistake and your tactics are being revealed. I love it!
She had been to a few countries. Why lie and claim that she had been to more ?
They are getting caught in so many lies that we need to ask if they are lying about where they really intend to lead to lead this country if elected.
How many more lies???? How many more exagrations?????
Just like McCain mailing out absentee ballots where they're ineligible to vote. Source: Wisconsin State Journal, September 13th article entitled "McCain's mailer stirs controvery,. Was he tryhing to get votes to cast absentee ballots where they're ineligible vote, or was it a mistake?? Oh yeah – RIGHT
Is this to win an election??? Exageration, lies, manipulations
Wisconsin Vote who wants her vote to count without being contested by McCain's crew.
McCain should have done his job and vetted all candiates for VP. He used no judgement at all! McCain had rather win an election than put America and the American People first.
Imagine that. Yet another republican playing fast and loose with the truth. Or even simply just lying to pad an otherwise thin resume.
I'm sure the McCain campaign will try to blame this on Obama.
Unbelievable liars!!!!! Only the staunchest racist could vote for McCain/Palin....
Lies lies and more lies. You can tell how a ticket will run the country by looking at how they run a campaign.
So which is it? First they said she did visit with troops, now it they say she did not meet with them. Do they do test polls to see which will work better, and just ignore the truth. Please anyone explain to me how this PERSON deserves anything more then a tour of the White House? If this PERSON gets to be the Vice President it will show the overall ignorance of this country, and how WHITES are more scared of a persons race then they are their overall intelligence.
For a Christian lies flows behind her.
It's amazing to me that anyone believes anything this woman says. It's just one lie after another. When is the social conservative right going to quit being so gullible and realize they are being duped.
LIAR!!!!!
MCSAME + PALIN = THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.
Remember in 2004 when Bush/ Cheney made a big deal about whether John Kerry had gone into Cambodia? Yeah, Bush/Cheney, the Commie Haters who managed to miss the fight in Vietnam.
The McCain/Palin team and their handlers will continue to lie. Theyre good at it and they know that eventually it will sink in and uniniformed voters will start to believe it.
When will voters wake up and realize they are bing sold a bill of goods???
another lie from palin/mccain ticket --oops i mean mccain/palin ticket
Finally CNN is starting to report some of the McCain lies. Is this really what we want over the next four years: lies and deceit. And when McCain is asked about the tone this campaign his only response is "This campaign would be different if Senator Obama had accepted my town hall debates." That is like a 5 year old saying, "well he wouldn't let me play with his dinosaurs so I am going to hit him." This is the wisdom we want for President?
This woman makes me sick. She brings nothing to the table. I regret I was unable to watch the ABC Charlie Gibson interview, but I did read the whole transcript. I'm baffled on why anyone would say, this woman is qualified to be Vice Pres. or Pres. What an moron! The woman doesn't even know what the Bush Doctorine is?? She back peddled several times on things she did and said with in the the last few years. Promises of change, saying she's different the Bush, and will deliver. Does she even know what she is delivering? People think McCain/ Palin is a winning tickect? Are you all high on Oxy cotton like her son??? I won't be shocked if this ticket makes it to the whitehouse, just incredibly sad, and hopeless!
more lies being bebunked.
Um Obama didn't get much of a bounce after visiting the troops so Palin shouldn't have to worry...
The extreme left media are still smearing the McCain campaign because their candidate, Obama, is suddenly losing the election. FOR ALL THOSE WHO COMPLAIN THE POLLS DO NOT INCLUDE CELL PHONE USERS, LOOK AT THE POLLING WEBSITES! Gallop and many others DO include cellphone users. THIS TACTIC IS JUST A TRICK BY THE EXTREME LEFT TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE THE STATISTICS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM.
Vote McCain/Palin 2008
VOTE HILLARY 2012!! PUMA!!! NEVER LET UP PUMA'S!!! WE WILL ELECT HER IN 4 YEARS!
why did they lie?
You know these lies not going to help McCain...trust me...remember Bosnia trip
And I visited Australia...big deal. I am so sick of the Republicans nastiness and lies. This country doesn't need a duo like McCain and Palin who have to resort to lies to get votes. They have a horrible record and little experience and they couldn't get REAL votes by any HONEST way if they tried!
Palin and McCain are blatant LIARS
What's new – McCain campaign lying? I mean this is what they've done the last 2 weeks at a rate unseen in political history.
Of course she has foreign policy experience!
She's "foreign" to any policy experience!!!
Wow! I've been to Mexico and Canada too. I guess I'm qualified to be vice president!
McCain don't know the truth, but they will be expose.
Only real problem in this election is RACISM.
John McCain...you call yourself honorable? You served your country and were a POW that is an honorable thing you did, but you yourself are a liar and will do anything to get elected I see...Wow...you are really sad!
Oh, and don't forget that she can see (or almost see) Russia from a high hill in Alaska..........jeepers
So which is it? First they said she did visit with troops, now it they say she did not meet with them. Do they do test polls to see which will work better, and just ignore the truth. Please anyone explain to me how this PERSON deserves anything more then a tour of the White House? If this PERSON gets to be the Vice President it will show the overall ignorance of this country, and how WHITES are more scared of a persons race then they are their overall intelligence.
So the spokesperson for Palin states that she has been to Mexico and Canada. So since I have also been to Japan and Korea would that make me more able to be Vice President then Palin?
I WODER IF CNN WILL POST THIS??!!??
The more and more people learn about Palin and McCain the less and less they will like them. Their whole campaign is based on lies and distortions.
What is funny is that this is the woman, and this is the campaign, that the so-called "Religious" Right is rallying around...
oh no lying again I am shocked, renaming the bus from straight talk to
LYING TALK EXPRESS
Now we are beginning to see the real Sarah Palin. Is there anything this woman hasn't lied about? I can no longer believe a word that comes out of her mouth from this point on. She and McCain definitely make a good team!
MORE AND MORE LIES....you can run but we'll find the truth
Come on pitbull.......start telling the truth....Ireland a fuel stop,
never was in Iraq.....what more lies to you have to tell?
O.K. everybody I welcome you to the ghetto.We accept foodstamps and medicare cards.
When are we going to wake up, this women is a actress, with the intent of trying to fool the American people, she does not have the experience needed to run this country. We are not talking about being a mayor of 6000 people, we are talking about the US of American. People stop being stupid, this country is in trouble, and we must make adult decisions here. Not emotional ones.
Good work Boston Globe.
Leave it to the newspaper of the bluest state in America to say it like it is.
Sarah Who?
I'm not one bit surprised. You know on Christmas and this great big gorgeously wrapped gift arrives with your name on it. You're anxious to open it up and inside is the last you would ever want in your life. That's Palin, she wears a skirt , and can read a speech well. Women are falling all over themselves to see PALIN. Why because they relate to her on some level. A soccer mom, a mom of 5 kids, and a woman balancing work and home. However, what I see is someone who's every word somehow has ended up being a lie. Every other word has been written for her and when utter, sounds extremely hollow and insincere. So when people are willing she say she's just like me, I hope they're willing to claim it all. A proven LIER, deceiveful, conniver. Then when McCain-Palin get into office, you'll be able to continuing living life as it is presently. See right now we're all unhappy. Expect everything to stay the same or get worse. Why?, McCain and Palin are showing you their intent right now. If you're sucked into believe the lies now, what would make you believe their plan for the future.
The McCain and Palin campaign continues to lie because they can get away with it. The McCain campaign thinks that Americans are gullible, let's face it, down right stupid to the point that they even claimed that Americans love Palin and really don't care about the lies and her inexperience. This is alarming, Americans would vote these two into office because they lilke Palin?? She's nothing more than a manipulating liar who should be no where near the whitehouse. God help America!
I feel slimed by McCain Palin. This is the most dishonest duo that I have ever seen
What a joke.....McCain and crew should be ashamed and vilified by the conservative US press, which destroyed Hialry's chances of winning the primary.
I am disgusted by John McCain and his campaign is willing to sell out America to win an election.They have lied about everything.As a retired military member I respected him until about 2002 when he decided he wanted to be president and would say or do anything to ger elected. Sarah Palin's record is all smoke and mirrors.All these so called conservatives that talk about abortions and protecting life.Life is life whether it's at birth or the death penalty.How many innocent people have been executed?Most poor people don't get abortions just because.The have them mostly for economic reasons.These so called God fearing people, where are they on racicm and all the other injustices.Maybe if the playing field was leveled there wouldn't be abortions except for the really rich people(Republicans)that have their daughter get one if they get pregnant and they don't want to as they say ruin their childs life.Pro life should be the total life from birth till death that means good education,housing college and economic opportunity.
CAN THEY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING!
THERE IS NO WAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE THESE ABSOLUTE LIARS!
I'm sure she could see Iraq from Kuwait though. Will the lies never stop?
there is no daubt that Sarah Palin is not all she pretends to be. McCain is hell bent on winning this election and does not care how he accomplishes that – and that is sad – It is also sad that a lot of Americans still have a problem with the color of someones skin. We live in the 21st century for gods sake. Look closely at who will take care of us and who will pander to the rich. I am sure McCains friends want him in office so they can resume their lavish life styles. If he gets elcted with his sleezy adds, I will move to another country.
. . .Very dangerous woman.
I logged on to CNN today to get some news on the state of Texas and it's citizens after the damage that IKE caused after directly hitting Houston and Gavalston and guess what? Sarah Palin in the news again. She lied about her travels. Is this anything new. This woman is nothing but a "LIER", but it's okay because she is energizing the Republican party and will reform Washington. After the last three days of Sarah Palin in the news how can any AMERICAN can consider voting for McCain and PAlin unless you are just too ignorant or stupid to know the difference.
The World is looking at us. 58% for Senator compared to 12% for McCain perfers Senator Obama for President. Please let not show the world how stupid we are by voting for McCain – Palin
Obama / Biden – 2008
Just because Governor Palin has not visited several countries does not mean she is not qualified to serve as vice-president . . . just a heartbeat away from the presidency. HOWEVER, that she has a tendency to exagerate her positions and consistently seems to be less than honest about her record, she is NOT qualified.
As a Republican I love the thought of Sarah, but after watching her I know she's not ready to lead. I wish my party would seriously think about running a female who's more polished and experienced.
Unfortunately, in November we as Americans will have to get serious and vote for the two people who will take us in a different direction than George Bush.
It is all starting to come out now. What I want to know is how every singel one of you Republicans can now sleep withourselves at night? What the GOP has done is falt out lie over and over. You guys did in in 2004 with a honest white male veteran running for President but not this time!!! Enough is Enough by god. Let me tell you all something, you better hope this race is not close or does not come down to one state hanky panky like in 2000 because this time I predict there will riots in the streets and in the RICH NEIGHBORHOODS all across america! It will make the 1960's look like a schoolyard fight.
If by now Americans cannot see through the lies of McCain and Palin, then they deserve what they get should these people find their way to the White House.
I find it interesting that CNN does not name this Alaska spokeswoman. Perhaps she does not exist? Perhaps no one made this claim, and it's just another opportunity for the Obama News Network to do its thing. Well, CNN? Who is she? And why is the McCain campaign held responsible for everything that every "spokesperson" says? Why don't you hold your beloved Obama responsible, even for the things he himself says?
This is truly pathetic. Palin's accomplishments are so meager that the McCain/Palin campaign has resorted to lying to prop her up. The bridge to nowhere, the state jet, pork, her international travels. They twist everything to make it appear to be something else. It's sad. McCain is desperate. He has nothing to offer... and Palin's a fraud.
Big shocker... Everything out of the McCain camp is a lie.
Any other exaggerations for us, Governor?
The dew is off the rose, folks. She is more of the same.
Wow, refueling stop counts as a visit?
This Palin has neither integrity nor shame. She is throwing lie after lie out there hoping the journalists wouldn't catch it. And the irony is that she was supposedly trained as a journalist.
I don't know about you, but I am getting a really bad vibe with this lady. I don't think I can trust her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and lead this nation through difficult times.
She simply isn't out there long enough for me to get a good feel about her character conclusively. What we've seen so far isn't that encouraging. The bridge lie, book ban attempt, extremist abortion stance, and lack of grasp of national issues.
I can't vote for her just based on her resume and a few standard republican talking points that she memorized over the last few weeks.
Boy, this has turned into the worst lying campaign in history. Has this woman done anything except look cute? I think most of the men are so busy looking at her, they can't hear what is actually being said. How many lies? How much experience? How much coaching? My parrot can repeat talking points if you say them to him long enough.
And so the half-truths and lies continue as expected. Refueling in Ireland at least doubles her foreign affairs experience.
There is no requirement for foreign travel to the credentials for President of VP. They all meet the basic requirements for the office they are seeking. This discussion about "experience" is only relevant to the extent that we are told complete and honest information about it by the candidates. Republicans have become masters of at least incomplete if not deceptive information at every turn of the campaign. Bearing false witness of opponents is standard fare of their advertising. Is there any question why our government may need some ethics reform?
lets not forget that she can see Russia from her backyard so i think she has all the experience she needs. great tactic huh, i wonder if the country is going to fall for it like we do, McCain's campaign is acting as if the American public is completely senseless. i am frankly disgusted
She went to the Kuwait border. In her expertise, that's enough. She could probably see Iraqi land though. That's her foreign policy experience. BTW she went to Mexico for a vacation.
WOW !!! FIRST TIME EVER LEAVING NORTH AMERICA ?!??!?! INTERESTING !!! YEAH SHE HAS TONS OF FOREIGN EXPERIENCE !!! GREAT VP CHOICE !!!! lol
What at all does it meant to have foreign policy experience? Apparently, just traveling means you have foreign policy experience. That is ridiculous. I'm an independent, and i think foreign policy means being regarded and respected across the world, and having the judgment to protect America's interest across the globe.
Obama, McCain, and Joe Biden have that. Sarah Palin does not. Its that simple. The British prime minister was that close to endorsing Barack Obama, besides the amazing reception and love he got from around the world. Obama was right against the war in Iraq, when McCain and Bush though we'd be hailed and adored by the Iraqis. Obama has been right about Iran and Afghanistan, and yet all Mcain does is criticize him for saying he'd meet with leaders of rogue nations.
Just because McSurge was right on the surge (the only thing he's been right about), doesn't necessarily mean he can handle foreign policy better than anybody. And now, we want to say Sarah Palin has foreigh experience because she traveled to that part of the world? or because she's commander on chief of Alaska national Guard.
McCain goes to Columbia and coincides with the release of Americans held in hostage, and Joe Lieberman wants us to believe McCain got briefed because the rest of the world respect. My question is...wh y did McCain go to Columbia of all places? Hint...his lobbyist aide has ties there. Why was he all emotional about Georgia? hint, his other lobbyist aide has ties there.
The maverick John McCain we knew 8yrs ago is NOT this John mcCain
lets wake up america. McCain cant even use computers, and we want him to be leader of this free world. ha.
wow! Who hasn't visited Mexico and/or Canada on "Personal Vacation Trips". I know I have. Do I have foreign policy experience?
This GOP circus is just getting ridiculous
I flew over California twice going to and from Hawaii. I gues according to the mccain campaign I visited that state. Took oictures of the Grand Canyon that trip, too...from several thousand feet up. So I can tell everybody I visited that, too. I had a layover for an hour or so in the Memphis airport, but didn't go outside. Can I say I visited Tennessee? Only if I am running for VP with mccain.
People have been fired from their jobs for inflating their resume's like palin has. Why is she still on the ticket and why is the media not ripping her more? Oh, right, they're not allowed to talk to her.
What a fraud. She's hollow. Nothing but a pretty empty shell of a human with great TV presence (which is now beginning to wilt).
Please, Sarah, just fade away.
Abramoff ally, Ralph Reed, to host fundraiser for John McCain - the same McCain who investigated the Abramoff-Reed connection
and Now Sarah Palin>>>>>>
We must Question Senator John McCain Now???
What a surprise... more lies out of the McCain-Palin camp. How stupid do people have to be not to see through this... it's shameless and pathetic. I don't know why I bother commenting, anything I've ever posted that isn't in line with the 'GOP spin' stance has been removed anyway!
How come Caribou Barbie never visited Russia? Isn't it just a short boat ride from her western coast? Not very neighborly.
Why are we NOT surprised! To play off an old commercial, "Where's the truth!" Not in the McSame campaign, that's for sure.
Shocker! You mean the McCain campaign has been stretching the truth again? It's only a matter of time before people wise up to this bogus VP choice.
I don't trust anything that she says, period. Or McCain for that matter. They are both liars and the American people need to realize this before it's too late.
She looked fearful in the interview. It really was a deer in the headlights look. I don't mind her vying for the office of VP, I do mind her pretending to be ready.
Thanks for the interview, but the GOP can't really be serious about this woman.
I will cast my vote for Obama and Joe.
SARAH
why in the hell does your husband stand on stage behind you at ever speach, it is sick for cindy to do it now two of them, who is minding the kids. all about family
girl your kids need you. so go home enought lies and enought bashing. so knock it off why you are still governon of a small state
who is dammed if they cross you you leave there long enought they will get brave and you will loose control you will never be vp or pr-.
please post this cnn,you never do
This is sick. The Republicans are dangerous. If Americans vote Republican this election (a vote for Palin and the crazy man that added her to the ticket) the country is sicker than I imagined–and that's pretty sick right now.
wow
Like people are surprised that Palin lied. Palin has a lot to answer to, but the McCain people wont let her talk to reporters. Why?
1 She claims that she was against the bridge to nowhere, but she was for it before it was unpopluar
2 She said no to the bridge to no where, but kept the earmark money that was for the bridge to no where. Some Maverick
3. She said that she stood up to Ted Stevens, yet as Mayor she spent taxpayer money to fly to Alaksa to Washington DC to lobby for pork barrel spending that Ted Stevens wanted, which some of that pork barrel spending went to Wasillia while Palin was Mayor
4 Troopergate
Wake up people, Palin is another G W Bush, just like McCain. Do you really want 4 more years of G W Bush? That is what you will get with a McCain-Palin Administration.
Here we go again. Half truth or lie. Sarah Palin 'refueled' in Ireland. She has never visited the country. If she did and if she had spoken to the Irish people, she would have found out they are very excited about the possibility of an Obama presidency. They are a very politically aware people and no way, no how would they consider someone with Palin's lack of intelligence, world experience, or analytical thinking skills suitable to hold any public office. She would not even be able to hold her own in any political debate in any pub in the country.
Nice.....Good pick GOP!
1.Obama promised he would take public funding ... but he did not.
2.Obama claimed he would stand against FISA yet... he spruned his supporters and voted for it.
3. Obama claimed he did not visit the troops in a hospital because he was not allowed to... but sources said they never stopped him, they just told him he could not bring in the cameras.
4.The Cuba embargo In January 2004, Obama said it was time "to end the embargo with Cuba" because it had "utterly failed in the effort to overthrow Castro." Speaking to a Cuban American audience in Miami in August 2007, he said he would not "take off the embargo" as president because it is "an important inducement for change."
The list goes on and on .... so how stupid is it to pick a fight about lies when Obama tells the most lies of them all.
Surprise Surprise, another lie.
Why have they been lying? This just makes it worse.
I've had enough of them...
This is just another in a long line of “Pants on Fire” statements the Republicans have made in the course of this election.
Well folks it looks as if the “Straight Talk Express” has broken down in Alaska and will not be up and running until after the elections.
Sorry, but there will be no refunds, however we can offer you an exchange, Senator Obama the real candidate for change.
Yes We Can!
Just a reminder that this woman has no business being in the white house.
Why lie?
We are not looking for lies or fairy tales, we want the truth. If we are not told the complete truth by a candidate, after a while most people will just stop listening to them. All these lies prove that they must not respect our own intelligence or our common sense.
Yes I am for Obama, but I've sat back and didn't go after her once she was named. I didn't like how it was done to Obama so i didn't do it to her. But now were seeing things that just isn't good coming from a man that all of us would've said a GOOD man. Some say you have to do what you need to do to win but some of this is just dum. In the end all things come to light and this is a small thing you didn't need to lie about but as all of us have been told if you lie about something small you will for something BIG.
We've been there before and look where we are! I just want to ask something of all what did you think when we all saw that Hillary was being shot at and she was lying. WHAT DID YOU THINK? WAS SHE LYING? AND NOW WE SEE THIS WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WRONG IS WRONG CAN YOU SAY YOUR GUY IS WRONG WHEN HE IS? and if you can't how do you look at yourself or your child in the eye?
There are just too many unanswered questions about Sarah. I'm still on the fence, but leaning heavily towards Barack Obama.
Both McCain and his running mate keep telling obvious lies to the american people. The press should keep asking for open access to ask questions of her.
How many lies can one campaign tell???
Really??? Big freaking surprise that the republicans lied.
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING??!!
If you vote for McCain, you can only be (1) Feminist Extremist, (2) Racist, (3) Out of Touch with the REAL America, (4) or truly unintelligent!
This is just pathetic...He truly sounds like Bush in the making!
too bad,"Birds of the same feathers flock together". what else do we not know. McSame& Palame 08
Bush, Cheney, Rove, Hannity, Ann Coulter, Rush....THEY ALL LOVE HER!
What does that tell you about her...when Evil flocks to her cause and defense.
AS BEST I CAN TELL, PALIN HAS MADE SOME MISTAKES. I DO BELIEVE THAT SHE WILL MAKE A GOOD VP. I BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THINGS DONE. IF YOU SEND JOHN AND HER TO THE WHITE HOUSE, IBELIEVE THEY WILL DO THEIR VERY BEST, TO BRING ABOUT THE CHANGE WE NEED. I HAVE NEVER VOTED THE GOP TICKET, BUT I WILL THIS TIME.THANKS AND MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA
Give me a break, she's visited Mexico and Canada. What American hasn't visited Mexico and Canada. Next she'll be throwing in the Carribean.
Not ready for prime time–let's get serious people.
Obama/Biden 08
PALIN IS AS BIG A LIAR AS MCCAIN. WHAT SHAME TO HAVE FOLKS LIKE THAT ACTUALLY RUNNING FOR HIGH OFFICE. JUST UNREAL!
The liar is still lying I see.....Ms Pain quote" yes I have been outside
Alaska,.....Canada, Mexico Iraq......HELLO......Mexico on a holiday, and
NEVER IN IRAQ...the Repubs stop lying to bolster her internatiional
experience....Oh my mistake....Cindy said...quote "didn't you
know Alaska is close to Russia?"
IMAGINE WHAT OTHER LIES SHE HAS TOLD.
Just WHAT do you people EXPECT from the Republicans.
ALL they have known for the LAST 8 Years is LIE, LIE, LIE....
THATs the ONLY thing they know how to do.
The Republicans have run this country into the dirt. McSame/Palin will bring the US NOTHING but certain DEATH.
I was just wondering why the news media hasn't mentioned Obama's ad attacking McCain for being out of touch, you know the one..the one that states he doesn't know how to use a computer.
Well I was just wondering why no one has bothered to mention that the reason why Mr. McCain can not use a computer is that the poor man was a prisoner of war and was so hurt and mangled that he can't use is fingers to comb his hair let alone type anything.
Where is the media's outrage in this? And you know what? Great for Barbara Walters and the view for those heated questions towards McCain, but um when is anyone in the media going to drill Obama in that way? Can someone tell me?
Wow! So far I don't see a straight answer. I think I am going to read the Gibson-Palin interview transcripts and see how ofter she flip-flops!
It seems that very little about Sarah Palin and her reported experience(s) are accurate and not obscenely inflated. I am amazed at how quickly American's wanted a "darling" and have been simply flabbergasted by how easily they've been "pulled in." Seems like we've so desperately wanted someone we could rally around and feel good about that we are willing to believe and accept anything/everything we're being told.
I, for one, am not buying.
Ms Palin seems like a very nice person and a charming individual. I would readily welcome her as my neighbor – but I am not quite ready to make her the "President of the United States."
Lies, lies and more lies!!!!!
Not this time. The stakes of this election are too high. Not this time...
one more lie, they are starting to add up. Who wants liers in the white house ?. Please hold your left hand up , I swear to nottell the truth so help me god.
Mc-Cain-Palin,
Liar, liar, pants on fire...
another lie by palin/mccain ticket, oops i mean mccain/palin ticket
Palin the more I get to know little of you the more secrets and lies are exposed. I can see why the McCain camp is so bent on limiting your press interviews. This is ridiculous here we have a candidate running for 2nd in command possibly President and its very few details we as the public know, and when it is to be revealed it turns into a lie. I'm sorry as a first time voter and some many I know can allow to vote for the McCain – Palin ticket. She should not worry about Obama regretting to have chose Hillary it appears McCain needs to regret in picking you as his running mate. From the Obama supporters in FL our hearts and prayers go out to our fellow Americans affected by the terrible Hurricane Ike. God Bless!
Obama / Biden '08
No Way, No How, No Win for McCain / Palin
What? Really, WoW!
I wander how many women want people to think they are like this?
She really dosen't represent women that I know.
I know strong women, but they don't allow men to tell the world who they are. They do it themselves.
Just a lier and the pub brand is ok with it.
I just don't understand my fellow americans.... After the last eight years of this president with John Mccain right beside him (so he could aspire to be president) and the situation of the economy, the wars, the corruption, they are going to vote for this man.... A republican through and through?
What's going on...for years we hear how we want a campaign on the issues but the negative campaigning that the Mccain lobbyist is leading is actually working? Lies trumps everything else?
And now women are falling for this Palin Crap? I can honestly say that if the republican's win again because of people that do not want to get informed and that they would rather vote against their own self interests and the interests of the country like they did with Bush...then you know what, when the economy is even worse.. when we are in more wars because of a warmongorer like Mccain, don't complain... you had the chance and you blew it.....
Some beacon of hope this country is.... Lie, smear, destroy and you too can be president of this country.... perhaps it's real, our choices reflect what this country is really about.... and it seams to be about being ignorant fools who let themselves be conned not once, twice but three times...
Man!!!..................Everytime Palin opens her mouth it turns out to be a lie, She is a lier and no way should be in power of this country. Americans want to trust their leaders, that's all McCain talks about but his running mate Palin is nothing but a liar. I DO NOT TRUST McCAIN NOR PALIN to run this country, they are lying already to the people, no honor, nor respect. they think we all are fools.
McCain is a JOKE!! I cannot believe people are voting for this man. he lies everytime he opens his mouth
Has she ever told the truth about anything?? Anything at all?
Seriously -- Other than the "My name is Sarah Palin," and given the avalanche of lies she's been caught in, I can't even be 100% sure that was true!
I cant believe people are still buying Palin!? this propped-up political puppet is having her history and words written and read to her so she can go out AHEAD of Mccain, like a mascot, diverting the real issues that the Repubs still have not addressed. The Dems may be throwing "wish-bones" to the public (as politicians always do) but the Mccain -Palin duo are just throwing out exaggerations , lies and slander. Im sorry Hilary did not get the nomination but LADIES PLEASE!!! is this reallly who you want to RUN the country??? Run it into the ground is more like it....
Not suprising...McCain + Palin=ONE BIG LIE!
America please do your math and DO NOT VOTE THESE TWO INTO OUR HIGHEST OFFICE!
Seem like the straight talk express has been derailed.
Wow... doesn't it ever occur to Sarah Palin that she should provide correct information about her resume, governing and travel? She allows her to campaign create speeches, commercials, and talking points that contain misleading information and/or outright lies. Does she really think the American people will not find out the truth?! She could at least fill in her own side about the problems with some of her stories before they then repeat those ridiculous stories that she knows are blatantly false. This is beyond silly season! It's like "Where's Waldo" with her, only we are always looking for the truth!
I still can't believe what she said to the soldiers as to why they are going to Iraq, including her own son.She is so impressed with her own importance. Ignorance is bliss unless you are the one in charge, then ignorance is dangerous.
The lies and payoffs are mounting; yet the GOP believes itself to be above scrutiny of the press and the public. If the GOP has its way, it would take away the freedom of the press or at very least, control it. As a registered Republican, I am totally disgusted with the corruption my party embraces by twisting facts and flat out lying. We used to be a party that cared about moral values and holding onto American traditions. It is evident that big corporations rule the party. To go against the grain is to fall out of grace. The Democrats have a tactical advantage they do not know how to expand upon and most likely will fail. This will prove that the GOP is better suited to lead; but at what cost to every honest working person?
Hmmm...why would Palin lie about having visited our troops in Iraq? Obviously, she wanted to inflate her desperately thin resume. Trying to capitalize off of the hard and brave work of our troops is absolutely unforgivable! Palin's lie just lost McCain my Republican vote.
I have commented on numerous article on many occasions, and have never seen one of mine ever published.
But after reading this I feel compelled to try once more.
It seems that very little about Sarah Palin and her reported experience(s) are accurate and not obscenely inflated.

Ms Palin seems like a very nice person and a charming individual. I would readily welcome her as my neighbor – but I am not quite ready to make her the "President of the United States."
Please tell this a heart beat away lady to stop telling lies!!!
Sounds like more sniper fire
The tip of the iceberg is showing. For interesting reading, check out today's New York Times story on the way Ms. Palin runs Alaska – she out-Bushes Bush.
John McCain didn't pick someone who can be president; he picked someone who could help him win an election. That's why, everywhere he goes, Sarah Palin or Mrs. McCain is with him. On his own, he just can't get it done.
He wants to win to win. It appears Mr. Obama wants to win in order to do something.
CNN – let's ask John McCain how many days it's been since Sarah Palin last visited Iraq. O, I forgot – she's never been.
A Palin spokesperson also confirmed Saturday that the governor had visited Mexico on a personal vacation trip. She has also visited Canada
I wonder how effective she will be dealing with world leaders.
I'm sure Putin will be impressed with her constant mindless lying.
It seems that the last truthful and decent person to represent the republican party was Gerald Ford. The republicans genuflect to the memory of Reagan, but what about the Iran/Contra scandal, the illegal alien amnesty program, firing the air traffic controllers and the tremendous ballooning of the budget deficet? Go ahead, google and graph the budget deficet from 1950 on and see who spent money that we didn't have. By the stated standards of the republican party, Nixon, Bush the elder and Bush the stupid are tremendous failures. McCain is more of the same and wants this presidency so badly that he has forsaken his honor and ethics with a win at any cost strategy. Whatever kind of man McCain once was he stopped being that man long ago.
These people wouldn't know truth if it stood on their toes !
They fit well w / McSame-McShameless !!!
Liar.
How can anyone believe this woman. Has she said anything that is true. She has embellished and distorted her entire record and left out the sleezy parts. She is so scary.

GOD HELP US...............THIS WOMAN DOESN'T NOT REPRESENT THE SAME GOD I SERVE!
LIES, MORE LIES, MORE-MORE LIESLIESLIESLIES
PLEASE WOMEN THINK HARD ABOUT VOTING FOR A WOMAN THAT LIES ABOUT SERIOUS THINGS THAT WE DESERVE TO KNOW.
Obama made a whirlwind tour of a few countries exchanged pleasantries with some heads of state and that makes him an experienced diplomat. they now know, that Obama likes to hear himself talk and in a situation, all they have to do is pretend, to lean towards his philosophy and let his ego do the rest. he is ready made for Russia or the middle east negotiators who love nothing better than to lie and mislead the USA and Europe on the other hand they know nothing of gov. Palin except she is one though cookie.for the record and to keep things on an even keel maybe it's time to get the dirt on obama into the open, he sure has no problem dragging Palin in it
Is any "thinking" person really shocked? Lie after lie after lie, just like the whole McCain campaign.
CNN please, please continue to report the lies and distortions this radical campaign is raging!!
Please do not let them dumb down America anymore than it already is, courtesy of Carl Rove and the failed Bush Administration.
Oh?......................... Did she LIE?
Isn't she a christian?
Let's see..................
1. Lying
2. Stealing (Trying to steal Obama's change concept)
3. Fornication (She's pro-life but it's okay if you commint fornication.
4. Absentness (It's okay to have sex........just don't protect yourself.
5. Deceit (Trying to dodge questions by Gibson)
6. Arrogance (Belittled community workers.)
7. Family Neglect (She didn't discuss with her family whether to take the VP position. She immediately said YES!.
WHEW! She's quite a trooper.
OH! TROOPER! Didn't she have her ex brother in law fired?
MORE LIES.
I am really puzzled that AMERICANS can be deceived by these folks. I am from a third-world country, but this political climate has really taught me a lot about Americans!
You can sell anything in this country if you know how to lie, and when you are caught lying, there is something call SPIN. The most surprising thing to me is how the so-called Christians in America are also deceived. BIG SHAME
Palin should continue to flip flop for on key issues that matter to the Americans for that is exactly what the Straighter Talker did to get the GOP nomination.
can we just have the election now and get it over with? all these sarah palin stories make me want to hit something.
The best criterion for becoming a Republican:
-–Simply be STUPID, and you qualify.
Oh, I need some advice:
I am a 60-year old plus man, and my wife who has been waiting for me to complete my studies is now 40 years old.
I have asked my wife that if she is not 25-years-old physically, I am leaving her for a beautiful 25-year-old queen I have just met (I told this young lady that I am 35-years-old).
Should I leave my wife because she has refused to be 25? I need your help folks!
Does Palin's husband have a job?
How do you not know if you really went into Iraq or not? More McLIES?
This Palinn person is the nastiest I have seen for a long time; She is a liar, and an insult for any woman who has some brain & dignity in her (unlike Palin, who has her brain in the lower parts, so it seems...) – How pathetic to play tough for the "big" boys – if it was only the poor wolves – maybe, but her cockiness is now in charge of the biggest nation in the world..???!!!
How stupid you must be to be impressed with a loud, screeching-voiced, pushy, will-impress-at all-cost PTA mother of the worst kind?
Why should this be a big surprise!! As for a visit to Canada, I am a geography teacher and everyone knows that Canada borders Alaska. I would bet a vast majority of people from my state have visited Canada (it borders Canada as well). So what is the big deal.
When are the "untruths" going to stop!!!
John is not immortal, he could die. Then the country would be irresponsibly left with Sarah Palin, the joke of the century. Our fore fathers are turning in their graves.
Sarah is ready for a talk show, not the next President of the United States.
Think people, this is the real world, not Fantasy Island.
Liar, Liar! Amazing how the truth comes out. Bad choice McCain.
I think I should be the VP candidate. I've been more places than Sarah. But I can't see Russia from my backdoor, so maybe not.....
The Big Joke that is this Republicans ticket is continues...
There are a lot of lies that will be uncovered by the McCain-Palin campain. This is why they don't want the press bothering them; they know the press will uncover all their lies. This is why they're always talking about Obama; to keep the attention off of them. But thanks to the great reporters we have in this nation, the cover will come off and all their supporters will look like idiots and feel betrayed just like the supporters of John Edwards.
This is what she described as her "life-changing" visit to Iraq in her Gibson interview??? Spin this one, Rove.
Apparently the McCain-Palin strategy is based on their philosphy that you can fool enough of the people enough of the time to lie your way to the White House.
every republican complained about Barack receiving to much coverage in the media – well everything is even now because this coverage on Palin is rediculous
This is getting downright creepy. All politicians stretch the truth-but, generally have some awareness of potential fact checking. These lies are so numerous and blatant that Palin is sounding a bit like a pathological liar!
Imagine that, another lie...Come on give CNN tell us something we don't know!
Palin is not relevant at all in this election. CNN should be ashamed of these boring coverage of her.
There is so much more to this Palin and more will be revealed.
Seriously why don't you just have a lottery to pick your president? Seems like it would be more impartial and fair then your current model. Heck, at this stage of things, it would be just as big of a joke too!
I don't understand why the lie.... These according to the interview were "Life changing moments" experienced by Palin, guess she got confussed with the difficult interview.
There has to be a point where McCain-Palin have to be accountable for all of these lies. Why is she constantly boasting her resume only later to have to report that it was inaccurate. If any of us did that in a job interview we'd be toast!!!!
Obama-Biden 08!
Do we really even need to leave comments. This article speaks volumes for McCain's campaign...the Straightalk Express, huh?
She took a vacation..........SO WHAT ???
In her interview she said she had been to Kuwait ... but I wasn't under the impression that she had ever been to Iraq ... so this news means nothing to me.
She's had so few trips overseas you would think she and her staff could very easily remember where she went!!!!
Palin is no Hillary !! I am glad McCain nominated a woman, but her views are even more right wing than McCain's. She's got to be the biggest flip-flopper ever...changes her mind on earmarks, the bridge to no where that she was for before she says she was against it (even though she took the 300 million dollars anyway), says she never asked that any book to be banned even though she fired the librarian, etc etc etc etc
She has no credibility and she is the real flip-flopper.
Looks like McCain-Palin continues to have some trouble with the truth.
Have you ever seen the movie liar liar?.... Oops, I forgot, the trailers are being played everyday starring Sarah Palin and the RNC.
So her landing in Ireland qualifies as a "visit"? Give me a break.
At least Obama tells the truth. I think I prefer honesty over Palin's extensive international experience.
I find it interesting that the McCain/Palin campaign would lie about such sill nonissues. If they would lie about something like this, it make me wonder what else they are lying about.
And the lies just keep on rolling.
Hopefully enough Americans will start seeing that the McCain and Palin campaign is just about lies. The lies they tell about themselves, and the lies they tell about Obama.
And personally...I think the lipstick would look better on the pig.
CNN- Wake up and call a lie A LIE already!!
They're lying, and they will only get away with it if YOU let them.
The truth shall set you free!
How many lies are the American people going to accept from the GOP? McCain and Palin are a complete disgrace.
How on God's green earth can any right minded individual tha has really paid attention to the last 8 years vote for ANY Republican administration. Please people, accept change and NEW possibilities....I have nothing against Mccain as a person ( I have love for our older generation), but I would like to see a brighter future for our children and we won't get it with Mccain-Palin ticket.
What else is new?
Lies, lies and more lies is the Republican mantra.
Just keep lying until u get caught and then come up with excuses
to cover your lies.
Doesnt even matter if your execuses are also lies.
Just lie and win, baby.
It works all the time with the gullible who dont see beyond skin color
and wedge issues.
Now, will they hold her to the same standard as they did Obama?
Do anyone get the feeling that Palin wasn't vetted properly nor was she honest with the question's that was asked during her ONE time seeing McCain, or do you get the feeling McCain told her the voters WOULD be stupid enough to VOTE for her anyway? As a professional woman with three kids, I care nothing about how many she has, when she get time for them or NONE of that..........that's her BUSNIESS, but her lies and the welfare of MY Country is my BUSINESS......This is not a PROFESSIONAL woman, this is a LYING professional.
I'm so sick of the lies coming from this woman. The fact that the McCain camp can blatantly lie like this, not once, not twice, but many times in the past week already shows me that McCain is just like Bush. His Administration would be just as corrupt as Bush's and he would lie to us right in the face just like Bush did. He doesn't deserve the Presidency. If people vote for these frauds, they deserve everything that happens to them.
Obama/Biden ticket will win this race by restoring the American image
MCcain/Palin will ruin this race by distorting the actual message!!!
Are the wheels starting to come off? Hummm!
When will the lies stop? When will McBush/Palin address the serious issues that we care about? When will the American people wake up? When? When? When?
So?
Obama didn't visit the troops on his "meet the American Idol" tour in Berlin! And, he has no governing or foreign affairs experience at all.
Then, of course, there is the little matter of his being at th top of the democratic ticket not the VP spot.
But, we all know that Obama's resume is so tissue thin that he is a ridiculous candidate for president and so, it is easier for camp Obama to attack the new and rising star!
And, Obama's judgment in picking Biden and not Hillary for the VP spot was an arrogant, foolish blunder!
McCain/Palin 08! They will deliver the authentic reform Americans can believe in! And, they will do it with integrity!
The McCain people are just totally shameless. Do they have an iota of decency or honesty? They are the lowest of the lowest scum. Everything they spout is nothing but lies.
The American people are sick of LIES, LIES is what got us into Iraq, LIES is why gas is so high. Eight is enough!!!!
Obama/Biden
so many lies
Ooops!
Lies.
Do they tell the truth about anything?????
Obama and his supporters are running scared over Sarah Palin's overwhelming popularity. They try and try to point to her lack of experience, yet they don't seem to notice it on their own candidate.
Obama is an empty suit, full of flowery speech. He is also arrogant and a wimp. Nothing that they find on Palin will even come close to Obama's long and close relationship with a racist and American-hating church.
Yes, Palin was mayor of a tiny town. Yes, she has being governor for close to 2 years, but at least she has done it. She has an amazing 80 percent aproval rating– the highest of any governor in the US.
What about Obama? A junior senator that voted "present" instead of "yes" or "no" numerous times??? Give me a break.... Where is his executive experience?
CNN, Please post!
Yet another one of the McCain campaign's lies and distortions is exposed! i can't believe the race is as close as the pols say. Maybe it really isn't...
Sarah Palin will be a wonderful Vice President, she has more useful experience that both Joe Biden and Barry H Obama. Sarah has inspired me to activity work for her and Sen McCain this fall. In this dangerous time, with Russia attaching Georgia and theatening Poland and the Yukraine, we need strong leadership, not a community orgainizer ( agitator).
An Iraqui side border post? A fuel Stop? Vacation in Mexico . OMG....
Am I Right?
According to Palin, If your raped by a geneticly Mentally Insane Attacker with Aids….You must have his child.??
Correct me if I'm wrong…
Please.. Wake up America.. !
This is too Important ..!!
Eight More Years of Bald Faced Lies???
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
Liar liar pants on fire!!
She cannot be what she isn't
That's an easy question, Tommy! No, there isn't anything that the McCain isn't currently or won't in the future lie about!
I can't wait how they twist this one: "We believe Sarah Palin is ultimately qualified to not only handle foreign affairs but to thrive in solving international crises. Why, just last year, Sarah and her international team flew to Ireland and dealt with a major energy issue – within less than a matter of hours – the problem was solved and she and her team was on their way, back home – to the country she loves so dearly.
I'm good looking too, so all I need is 90 more credits towards my BA in journalism and a smooth mouthpiece and I can get nominated for vice-president, but darn I can't lie like that or have others lie for me and know it.
Oh c'mon America, to who much is given much is expected, don't you expect more!?!
Sarah Palin is a conniving, lying government bureacrat. She needs to tell us everything and stop with the empty promises.
If she is lying about her past experience now, can you imagine what she would do if she is elected Vice President?
Shame on you John McCain for picking a terrible person as a running mate.
How many more Lies is this country going to accept from these two??? People wake up...we have already lived 8 years of an administration lying to us all. Do we really really want 4 more years???
WAKE UP
LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE AND THE MEDIA WONT CALL THEM OUT ON IT YOU HAVE TO GO TO A BLOG AND READ .
IS IT THE GOP WE SHOULD BE MADE AT FOR THE LIE AND STATE OF YOUR COUNTRY OR THE MEDIA FOR NOT CALLING THEM OUT ON IT .
FREE PRESS IN 08 AND OBAMA FOR PRES.
This is jus another in their series of lies. You just can't believe anything these people say.
McCain and Palin say they're reformers. Who are they going to reform? Themselves?
Yet another example of how politicians can lie in office and/or prior to the election and still remain in office/on the ticket. Where is the oversight? I say make it illegal for anyone in/running for public office to manipulate/lie about their experiences and their opponents'. Hold everyone, Republican and Democrat accountable! And while we're at it, make it so that a President can be recalled after he/she is elected it she does something opposite of what she said leading up to his/her election, or it becomes apparent he/she will not actually follow through on the words that got him/her elected. I'm tired of people lying to prove they're ready to serve and/or then lying again/not accomplishing anything while in office.
Now that's a world traveler with some real foreign relations experience!
It's ironic that the McCain camp waits until the day a major hurricane hits the country to admit one of the countless lies it continues to tell. That way it will slip under the radar. But I must say I love Obama willingness to fight back tough now.
Sarah Palin is a SERIAL LIAR
Lies, Lies and more Lies from the GOP
Lies, lies, and MORE LIES....
AREN'T WE TIRED OF OUR GOVERNMENT LYING TO US?!?
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN '08
So she lied about this too? Wow, eBay-gate, troopergate, bridgegate, Iraq-gate...lies lies and oh here are some more lies.
Vote Obama '08 unless you like getting lied to and treated like an idiot.
Don't worry Obama/Biden, the truth will definitely come out one day. Christians, who always claimed to be followers of Christ in public are the very ones that will go all out to lie just to achieve their goals.
McCain/Palin bear in mind that your Christian values is at stake, and therefore beware of what you say to the American people.
Sarah might want to know that Jesus was a community organizer Pontius Pilate was a governor.
So what's the problem? If being able to see Russia from Alaska gives her insight into how to deal with the complex US/Russia relations, then she also saw Iraq and Ireland. So that covers the Middle East and Europe. I say she's ready!
but what i dont understand is this. all this millions shouting and supporting palin, why are they doing it? so if mccain dies tommr God forbids so she will be the next president? hahahahahahaha. america the land of unpredictability. may God help us. if obama was white he would have stopped campaigning and chill waiting for november bt bcos he is black, he got to fight it and push it and hope for the best.
Here come the Obamaites with their crap. Well, so she didn't cross the border...oops – but she do go see the injured troops! So Mr. Elite still doesn't have it on her! Just more trash from the Dems. See how they are now that they are losing? Expect their BS to get worse!
she visited Canada? wow, that makes me wanna elect her VP!
Wow really cares what countries she visited? I can't believe the media is stooping this low. Where is the media scrutiny of Obama and his buddy Biden? Why did the media refuse to investigate Ayers, Rezko and Wright? The double standard is sickening. This really does tell you where the true feelings of those in the media lie.
What's next? You can't believe anything that comes from her or the McCain camp. Nice example for her kids. Lie, lie, lie and it might get you the VP job.
if they are lying to us in this campaign, then why do you expect them not to lie to us if they become president and VP
So, big deal! Just another one of the mounting, enormous, ongoing lies from the McCain/Palin group. As a white, middle aged woman, I've been through many elections, but I've never seen such outright lying except during the Bush campaign. It seems like every election period gets dirtier and nastier throughout the years. You know, we voted for the guy (Bush) who ran a campaign like this and he won. Please, fellow Americans, decide this one on the issues, not likeability, gender, or if you want to have a beer with one of them. Good ol boys have run our country into the ground for the last 8 years. Let's show Washington we're tired of partisan politics.
GO PALIN GO !!!!!
You are right, Obama does wish he had picked Clinton. Yet another poor premature decision by Obama. Obama is not ready to be president. He says he stands for change ??? How is Biden a change???
HILLARY SUPPORTER
GO MCCAIN/PALIN 08
Distort, make things up and lie that is all recent Republican Presidential candidates do - that is all they have.
They (McCain Campaign) are trying to sell more OCEANFRONT PROPERTY IN ARIZONA.
BUSH LIED HIS WAY THROUGH THE WAR, ALL HIS NEOCONS LIED OVER AND OVER, THE MEDIA, ESPECIALLY FOX- FIX-NEWS, LIED AND SPUN FOR THE CONS ... NOW McCAIN IS LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH TO STEAL THIS ELECTION, EVEN STEALING THE CHANGE THEME.
McCAIN IS DISHONORABLE MAN. HE MAKES FUN OF JANET RENO ABOUT GORRILLA RAPE...DISHONORABLE... WHERE IS THE MEDIA IN ALL THIS?
PUMA AND THE WHITE FUNDAMENTALISTS ARE HELPING HIM FINISH THE JOB OF RUNNING THIS COUNTRY DOWN THE TUBE...
Liar, Liar, skirt on fire.
Just wait peeps, this is just the BEGINNING
And this is news why?
Will we ever get a straight story from this woman and her staffers? Everyday it is something new that she hasn't done. Is this the experience and credibility Republicans are standing behind? YIKES
Another attempt to smear Sarah. She never said she was in Iraq. Why are you doing this? You're just showing the bias of the liberal media.
What a liar. I know it's hard to keep track of ALL the places you've been when the list gets above 3.
When is CNN going to seriously (operative word) address the inconsistencies of this still unvetted nomination. In the efort to keep your ratings up you paint the picture of a close race and not address these very serious inconsistencies. Remember how we helped advance the arguments for war when the key points did not fit?. How patriotic. This is not a game CNN. Do the right thing. Country first humm.
Palin proves again that she is not qualified to a President or a Vice-President of this country. She is a big mouth who throws out vitriole for political purposes and cannot and should not be considered as a vice-president behind a president who is 72 years old, had two major cancer episodes and is literally only 50% likely to live through his first term. She was mayor of a town of 9,000 receiving about 900 votes and a two-year governor of a state with a population of only about 625,000 (smaller than my county). We cannot and should not put this person in a position to be President of the United States.
There seems to be a pattern of distinct exaggeration and distortion emerging from the McCain campaign. It seems to be shaping their brand. The campaign of dishonesty. What a great fall from the days of old. Turd blossom's work, no doubt.
Change... or more of the same...?
I think we know the answer here... unless you haven't stopped watching shadow puppets on the cave wall. Come out and have a look around and see what is REALLY happening.
What does everyone think should be the new McCain campaign slogan.
Pants On Fire '08
or
Lie to Your Face First, Country Last
HITLER IN HEELS!
Sarah Palin's credentials are a joke. She is shown on CNN to be out and out lying about earmarks and the Bridge to know where. How can any decent republican vote for an out and out liar (and one under investigation for abuse of power)....unless you are as dishonest (and as racist) as she is. How can you vote for someone who would force a rape victim to go through with the pregnancy. How dare she or any other republican play GOD.
She reminds me of Hitler...someone who will lie with a smile while she stabs you in the front...and then tells you it's your fault.
I hope she and her husband go to jail for firing someone who finally had the guts to stand up for her.
Then maybe who ever gets to look after her children will actually bother to put their needs ahead of her own ego. Parading her handicapped child like a flag and flaunting her pregant daughter like a prize is disgusting. She's no christian...she's an opportunist.
Women you should be very afraid of this woman.
Anyone who's not white should be afraid of this racist person who called Obama "Sambo". How could anyone who calls themselves a christian think that gay people are deviant and in need of changing from God.
She's "HITLER IN HEELS".
Matt Damon is right.
Women and non-whites run.
This is amazing – she sat right across from Charlie Gibson and gushed about what an honor it was to visit the troops in Iraq – and now we find out she never went there? What a liar. And here's the what's more amazing – if she'll lie about this (which is a seemingly unimportant thing) – what else will she lie about? This is one woman who won't be voting for the female in the election!
this is unbeliavable.
surprise, surpise another republican lie!
Don't forget the lie about selling the jet for profit when in fact it was a loss.
And the BIG lie with Charlie Gibson when she said that she gave command orders to the Guard to "Send help to other states."
Why can't they just be honest? Pathetic!!!!
The McCain camp keeps digging their own hole don't they? I think this is just too funny! So funny that they LOST my vote!
Using the same logic she has 'visited' Russia.
Did she visit Canada or 'visit' Canada?
Did she 'visit' Mexico or was she in San Diego?
Mr McBush needs to pull the Straight Talk Express out the ditch they drove it in last week. Do these people have any integrity?
This nomination is a disaster for the American people. John McCain, where is YOUR HONOR??????
Is no one catching on to this woman? Another Republican joke foisted on us for a leader? Didn't we learn the second time Bush was elected? Honestly, this is a bad dream.
The MSM did not publish anything about obama giving free rock concerts, free beer and hot dogs at his speechfys in German and beyond. And it didn't tell that all his visits in Iraq were in an air conditioned tent. The MSM is again sexist sexist sexit...they fall down when reporting on obama and stretch the truth in lies when it comes to those running against him.
Lies, lies and more lies. If it's not about Obama then it's falsehoods and stretching the truth for stories supporting mCCain or Palin. Why would I ever vote for a man who claims he's a straight talker and then lies to win. No thanks Senator
This keeps getting better. I think the hope with the Republicians is if they repeat it enough times it makes it true. This tatic does work with some folks, but the rest just keep shaking our heads.
How many more lies are we going to catch this woman in?????
She stated in her interview that there were few other VP's that had foreign relation experience. John Adams the first VP spent years in France as a diplomat!!!!!!!! Why is she constantly pulling at straws to no where. If she said hey I haven't done anything ok but why do the circus show. We aren't ignorant of our history or of what are needs are now.
The witch is a LIER
So she never said she was in Iraq and now the press reports that her campaing confirms she was never in Iraq.
Riveting, just riveting. Keep up the good work.
After all the hype, this is what we get?.... LYING is not politics people. Citizens pay a price whenever we're caught in a lie. I don't see why this should be any different. Obama-Biden '08
CNN, FOX and MSNBC are so busy lying on behalf of the McCain campaign, they are missing the truth.
Well America is paying attention and as much as you organizations that pretend to report unbiased news would like us to think that McCain and his sidekick are the new American change ticket we know the truth. NO THANKS TO YOU!
This election will not even be close! Can you spell landslide!!
Obama/Biden 08
Of course she was in Mexico and Canada,we know just like McCain supports free trade agreement with these two countries Palin also supports it.
Obama '08/ '12
Does it count if the plane flies over a country, but doesn't land?
Just what we need. Four more years of LIES.
I hope they also explain why Tony Perkins and the racists who picked Palin will explain why they sold a certain blatantly racist product at their klan fest masquerading as a gathering of 'evangelicals.' Rather than lie about their connection to it.
If these two are elected, the worst is yet to come.
LOL: this is a surprise ???????????
I'm glad to see even Republicans are recognizing the extend of lies and misinformation coming from the McCain camp. They are so desperate to win they will do and say anything. Even in his appearance on "The View' , he lied straight faced to the hosts, as well as to the American people, when making his comment about Palin and earmarks. Is this who you want in your White House? He can't talk issues because he doesn't have any platform other than the failed Bush plans and she has no information on anything other than killing defenseless animals from her helicopter. They don't even agree with one another on issues such as stem cell research. They are quite a pair. Both liars, both unable to answer questions with honesty or knowledge, and both desperate to win at all costs.
yeah...., Palin also was on the way to visit the moon when they had some trouble and had to turn around...., wait...., oh yeah, that wasn't her, it was the apollo 13 movie she was watching on the plane.
Did anybody inform her of that? Oh yeah..., her aides did.
Is there anything left in this campaign that Palin-McCain has not lied about? Wake up, people.
This woman has no grain of truth in her life. What a pity.
Hmm!!, wyhat else is lying about? The MSM needs to get to the bottom of this woman. Of course, this will not be posted.
Talk about this on Monday not on a Saturday.
Isn't this so much like what we've been going through the last eight years? Lies, embellishments, phony outrage, cronyinsm, doublespeak and you name it. Do we want four and maybe eight more years of this?
How can anyone vote McCain? The hypocrisy is astounding beyond level. for those voting mccain, I ask you, what are you voting for, not what you are voting against?
are you voting to overturn row vs wade? voting for no end in iraq? voting for the destruction of our planet and no plan to get off oil, foreign or domestic?
dont you see the hypocrisy when we tell other nations they cannot use nuclear power, for energy or weapons, yet he wants to rev up our nuclear programs while we hold the largest collection of nuclear weapons?
when john mccain lies, we all lose. buying his lies will be like buying enron stock. they will be worthless!
Here we go again with the lying. What can people be straight forward? Shame on you pastors that are urging your congregation to vote Republicans because of the anti-abortion. Sin is sin! There is no degree in the eyes of the Lord. Lying is a sin. As I remember, God hates liars!
the skeletons are comingggggggggggggggggggggggggg!
What new revelations will we discover about Palin. Everyone needs to do a lot of exploration early before the election for it would be a blow to the American spirit to have unfavorable revelations after she's in office and possibly ending up as President with a 72 year old President. We know Obama, We know Biden, We Know McCain, but this Sarah Palin! Who is she and why should anyone cast a vote to put her potentially in the White House as commander and cheif.
Just one more lie from the great governor of Alaska. After listening to her for two weeks, I have come to the conclusion that if she said it raining outside, that I would have to go out and see for myself. She and McCain just can not be believed.
Yes..yes...Mexican vacation....cancun! Girls gone wild! Now i remember..
Does it really matter whether she ventured the extra 15 feet across the border? The point is, she made a visit to the troops stationed on stand-by, just out out of the hot-zone, out of her own kindness. Barack Obama's trip only took place because of his desire to be president and to try to disguise his lack of experience.
mcpalin pinokio needs his nose back. If americans are dumb enough to elect you two to the white house, then God help us all.
She's been to Mexico? So has my two year old.
The McClone campaign is so saturated with lies that I'm starting to wonder if I have given McClone too much credit by comparing him to Bush.
Is this governor even capable of opening her mouth without uttering half-truths and falsehoods?
This isn't news. Everyone knows she just went to Kuwait.
You have GOT to be kidding me. So she visits American Troops who are stationed on the border of Iraq (i.e., Our Iraqi Troops), and because she didn't physically step across the border into Iraq she is now LYING because she said she visited our Iraqi troops?
OMG, you liberals are desperate.
Palin is more like Bush than McCain is. A new politician brought to you by Karl Rove productions.
GOP is just shameless. I can't believe American people don't care about all these lies!!!
Cheat me fair and whisper lies to my ears.... I will follow you to the gates of hell! However, I will only do that after I follow you to caves that house the terrorist. Even after you tell me the plan to save the homes of hard working Americans. Maybe after you explain how we will improve education and how your VP does this "ear marke" two step all over America.
I don't really care if Palin visited Iraq or any other country for that matter.But I am tired of all the lies,distortions and snobbery.
LIES .....Earmarks, Governers jet, Bridge to nowhere.,
DISTORTIONS. ...Obama is for sex education for children,Raising tax
SNOBBERY... Putting down community workers.
These are just a few.
Republicans don't know how to tell the truth! Same old game plan, lie, lie and keep lying...the dumb red-necks will believe it! The right wing bible thumping conservatives will believe anybody with a gun that is pro-life!
And adding to her foreign policy experience, she's also qualified to be an expert on Russia because...Russia is Alaska's neighbor.
"After all, there are places in Alaska...islands...where you can look across and see Russia."
John McCain, you lost my vote when you picked this idiot. And I'm not sorry.
WHAT AN EMBARRASEMENT FOR MCCAIN! he looks more like a fool everyday. i bet he wishes he had gone with one of his buds now huh? he was so foolish to jump on palin just to prove abama made a mistake not taking clinton..... lipstick on a pig still makes a pig!
It just keeps getting worse, doesn't it? First, her convention speech, then the Gibson interview, and now all her lies and half-truths are coming out. So....The GOP opens the Rove playbook and picks a strategy of attacking the "liberal media", as though they should be cheerleaders and not journalists. Her interview with Gibson was a blatant recitiation of generalities and buzzwords she was coached on all week and he very gently busted her a couple of times. I'll wager it will be quite some time, if ever, before she sits down with any real journalist (sorry, but Foxed Up News does not qualify).
Her nose is starting to get longer and longer. I am just waiting to hear the lie to fix this one. She is proving to be a demon of deception.
liar liar pants on fire better watch it pit bull palen you are about to implode even bush mccain caint lie that good
I have no idea why anyone thinks that Gov. Palin would be a good VP or the president. It seems to me that she is just cramming for a tough exam. She is beiing pimped by John McCLain. They are not even on the same page with the simple stuff. This man goes to the whitest [literally and figuratively] state in the free world and finds a female that most people have not even heard of and says " surprise, look who I found'. What a Joke!!!! I really understand how all this works now. The Republicans play on peoples fears, ignorance and emotions to win elections and when they do win, nothing ever happens.
What doesn't this woman lie about? It's just a constant barrage of ##*#* out of her mouth.
The Republican Machine, as it is called, has manage to accomplish one thing, corruption of the American Electorate. More than at any time in the past, beginning with George W Bush, Karl Rove and the machine has set about corrupting the very processes we use to elect nominees to the highest office in the country. That is how we ended up with George W Bush, the most incompetant guy to ever hold the office of president. The mess we find this country, on every front, can be traced back to the swindling of the american public by Karl Rove and the Republic Machine. Now John McCain is uing the Machine to get elected and if he succeeds, I fear the country as we know it will cease to exist.
Surprise. Surprise. Surprise.
-Gomer Pyle
Of course she didn't, BECAUSE EVERYTHING THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TOLD YOU IS A LIE. JUST LIKE GEORGE BUSH LIED TO US ABOUT IRAQ. LIED TO US ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR NATION. THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT WANT TO LOSE POWER. THEY FEAR FOR THEIR FREEDOM AS MOST OF THEM BELONG IN PRISON OR SHOT FOR TREASON. PLEASE LIE SOME MORE.
AND YOU IDIOTS THAT BELIEVE THE LIES... YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. MORE LIES AND NO HELP. PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE DIRT AND THINK.
IF CHANGE DOESN'T COME FROM THIS ELECTION. IT WILL COME FROM THE REVOLUTION THAT WILL FOLLOW.
More reasons to not believe a word the Republican'ts are spewing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SARAH PALIN LIED AGAIN.
WONDER IF SHE WILL HOLD A PRESS CONFERANCE TO CORRECT THE LIE.
Simply put, most of Palin's quaification claims are wildly exagerated or outright fabrications. What does this say about McCain's judgement? And why is the media letting get away with her lies?
And the lies keep mounting.
She is as big a liar as John McBush!!!!
Seriously! I have more foreign policy experience than this lady.
No surprise there........another GOP lier..........when will the US learn?
I don't care whether she's been in Iraq or not, but I'm insulted by how loosely they've been playing with the truth to try to exaggerate her qualifications. This story goes right along with counting Alaska's proximity to Russia as foreign policy experience.
And yet the polls would seem to indicate people (especially "white women") are in love with her no matter how much BS the McCain campaign feeds us about her. Maybe, all along, Hillary was right in her charges of sexism and just wrong about who was benefiting the most from it.
Irrelevant, America votes in black and white!
If Obama had lied as much as Mc Cainand Palin, the media would make a BIG DEAL out of it. Scarborough, Pat Buchanann and that "crowd"
would CRUCIFY Obama. Now, they will try to think of some SPIN to justify the Mc Cain LIES !!!!!!!!!
Just call Mc Cain "MC SLEAZY !!!!!!
To many this may seem picky, but it is the tip of an extremely large iceberg of lies and deception from the GOP political machine. The GOP will and has done anything they deem necessary to trick the American public into voting to keep a GOP puppet in the White House.
now slow down! before people rush to conclusion and say she is inexperience in national security matters, she does live pretty close to Russia!!!!
OOOOPs....I will correct my itinerary......but only after the exagerated truths emerge.
So......lets see – Obama puts out an ad that claims McCain is not for equal pay for equal work.....well, let me tell you = Obama pays .80 on the dollar to his female staff at the US Senate vs the male staff doing the same job.
McCain pays his female staff 1.10 vs. the male's 1.00 on his US Senate staff. So Obama is once again the twister – and the liar about the record of John McCain.
So who is doing the sleezy now??? Obama – why??? because he is behind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems like par for the course to me...
If McCain and Palin were Penokeo their noses would stretch from Texas to New York. How can these people like so much and get away with it is beyond me!
How much longer will the McCain-Palin supporters tolerate the lies? Are they that thirsty to retain the whitehouse that they are willing to put their livelihoods on the line? Sure, vote for the repub ticket. For those of you at the lower end of the economic spectrum I sure hope you don't mind losing everything that you've worked your entire lives for if you haven't already under the current administration.
I feel like the republican Rove policies are alot like McCarthyism. I hope after McCain's deception and lies were revealed on 'The View' by Barbara Walters and the shows other host's that the supposed "real press" will do their jobs and expose McCains lies. Maybe McCain should have someone show him the internet so he can see that all the lies he tells can be checked on it? I used to think he was an Okay guy, but I think he is much worse than Bush!
I will like to see what they are gonna do now? lies lies I am so sick of lies
Why is this an issue? Did Obama travel to many countries before he became a presidential nominee? I find so many negative things against Sarah Palin and I think it is because she is a woman. Sick American politics.
That's good news for McCain. Sarah is just a footstep away from being ready to serve as his go to person on Iraq. As soon as she gets the nerve to approach the border entry point and puts her painted toenails over the line, then McCain will have his Iraq policy expert !!
And she's already up to speed on Ireland having actually spent time on their soil at the airport, while the plane was refueling. Any problems in Ireland Sarah will let us all know she is ready to handle it, heck I bet she won't even blink.
Enough about her.....we have yet to hear how John McCain actually plans on HELPING America, just the news that he was a POW.
wake up America,if these people are able to lie like this at this time,imagine when they take white house,its not just more of the same but worse than the same
It may be easier to stop trying to catalog the lies and just list if they ever say anything truthful.
Lies, lies, lies I tell you. How many do we have to hear before we say ENOUGH? How can you trust someone who lies to you every single time they speak? She has told nothing but a string of lies every single day that she has been campaigning – EVERY SINGLE DAY. Now I expect to hear things exxagerated a little by politicians every now and then, but lies every day? And she's a Christian? You do know you have to do more that oppose abortions to really be a good evangelical. Is there one speech that she's given that isn't laced with lies? And McCain constantly defends and supports her? What kind of maverick is that?
It is incredible to see how McCain and company are stretching the true, exaggerating and flat out lying about the issues and Palin's background!
What ever happened to honesty and integrity of a military Officer? McCain is proving that he is nothing more than supporter of lies and falsehoods in an effort to dupe the American public. He must really think the American public are fools, idiots and willing to be lied to like stupid sheep.
He is wrong!
It seems that every time she or he open there mouth they lie about whatever it is there talking about,and I mean EVERY TIME,sad that they aren't called on the carpet EVER TIME they BS us, but that would never happen in this day and age,shame always thought it would only get better...WOW was I wrong...very sad days for the US
I'd like to commend the press for continuing to thoroughly vet Governor Palin, something the McCain campaign obviously didn't do. Thanks!
Palin is probably the least qualified V. P. pick in U. S. American history. She is a gimmick for the GOP campaign and is a symbol of how poorly McCain would serve us as President. We don't care if Palin went to Iraq, or not. Why does CNN bother to publish this (unless I missed another lie)? What we do care about is the sad state of our country and that the GOP is counting on the "stupid" mainstream voters on supporting them for more of the same deceitful politics that have insulted the integrity of our country for many years world wide. It's really sad that the McCain Camp has made so many direct lies, especially recently. We shouldn't be too concerned about the "corruption" of governments in places like Africa, when we've got a bigger case of it at home. Palin as Prez? There are millions of better choices. What a sick country . My God, what a joke.
Ha, h, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, lol!
Go McCain/Palin! Just keep doing what you're doing. Does Sen. McCain know anything other than how to implode? He's jus truckin' along and then, boom, he's gotta screw up.
As much as the republican base may hate us liberal whacko's, The McCain/Palin team are forcing those folks to take a hard look at Obama/Biden. At least these guys can run a relatively smooth campain with some discipline and the attempt of integrity (let's call it a concerted effort, undermined by others).
McCain absolutely picked the perfect running mate for himself. Both are self-cleaning, white-boards ready to wipe the slate at every whim of the "polled public." (Has anyone reading this ever been polled? I haven't found anyone this election cycle.)
Anyone know the response from the McCain/Palin camp re: the interview on "The View?" I'm sure he cried foul, taking his marbles and going to play elsewhere. OMG what fun this all is.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE...McCain/Palin couldn't tell the TRUTH if their lives depended on it. Stop LYING!
Independent for Obama/Biden '08
"Earlier, campaign aides confirmed reports that Palin’s time in Ireland on that trip had actually been a re-fueling stop."
Palin, refueling America!
And BTW, she has *seen* Iraq from Quwait, like you can see Russia from Alaska.
Wow
So she saw a few airports and visited military facilities overseas. Big deal! Did she meet any people from the countries she visited? She claims that she has foreign policy experience because Alaska is a neighbor to Russia. That is preposterous and completely scary. As an American who has spent the last 10 years living in the Middle East, these countries have rich cultures. She might as well have gone on the internet and watched a virtual travel video for all she probably got out of her travels.
That's pretty brave of her. They are exactly who we need in office I bet the same people who voted Bush-Cheney into office will vote for McCain-Palin. Good luck to us all because this country will be in a world of hurt if they win.
More lies from the McCain campaign.
Their campaign is borderline treasonous with all the lies they are telling America.
Republicans are Satanists!
Their hypocrisy stinks to the highest heavens.... They are a DISGRACE to christianity.
Everything comes from McCain campaign is lie and lie and lie. I don't trust those people anymore.
CAN YOU SAY LIAR, LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!!
This woman is just a "judas" in a dress. She continues to lie every chance she gets.
YOU know what Republicans? IF this is the caliber of what you deem is QAULiIFIED to DECIDED YOUR FAMILY'S FUTURE and , God help us ALL!!
who cares? Please stop spamming the news with Palin ... unless you are also reporting about Biden.
obama barely went himself until he got pressured by the mccain campaign and the press. she wasn't even running for VP and went to all these places. it shows a little thing called 'being concerned'...
I was excited about Palin's pick but day by day things she said are being exposed as untrue. I have been lied to fr the last eight years and such a paatern is very concerning.
I think the little trip Palin took last July, sounds more like she wanted a way (again) for tax payers to pay for her vacation, rather than anything else. Check the records and see how many of her hotel excursions (that included extra rooms for family members) were billed to her state. Do you really think in a VP position she will change? It will only make matters worse with a higher level of corruption.
My, my, she lied. What a shocker! She fits in quite nicely with the Republican ticket – lie, attack, lie, attack, false outrage over nothing.
So basically Palin's foreign experience is a Mexico resort and a trip to Niagra Falls?
Wow...a lying trend..is this what we want for president?
Why would anyone be surprised by this? Next we will find out that she has not even seen Russia from Alaska – her only other 'claim' to international exposure.
Lies, Lies, Lies Do people care about the truth anymore? My God and Gov.
Palin goes to church we cannot believe anything she say. She is just like
President Bush
This woman lies so much, I'm not sure she's even been to Alaska. You can't believe a thing that comes out of her mouth or John McCain's for that matter. Their version of the truth is for the mooses.
That's right! Stop being afraid of telling the truth McCain, and let the people choose based on facts. You're pretending to be honorable when you're proving to be far from that.
man, what is wrong with the American people. Can we not see what is right before our eyes. Mcsame is using the biggest jedi mind trick on especially the american women. I served my countrty in the military, I am an independent that has voted for dem. and rep. alike. Yet this idea of these two scare the stripes off of my uniform. I pray to GOD that we don't continue down this path. GOD bless America, seriously.
Governor Palin:
is really phony: all package, ideology and ambitious competitiveness.
She has no substance and certainly almost no experience.
As a middle-age white woman, McCain's VP choice smacks me as patronizing to women and an insult to the many years - decades - of fighting for equal opportunities and non-discrimination for women.
Mr. Biden has a proven record of supporting women and families about these two issues, but no one talks about it!
Obama made the right choice and showed an excellent judgment, given the unsettling future that our country faces.
As American, I cannot stand opportunistic Judahs like Karl Rove, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and company– who put themselves first instead of their country as we have seen in their exposure of CIA-agent Valerie Plame Wilson– a real woman combatant, just to mention one case.
A clear indication that certain republicans do not care at all about the United States of America and its people.
She's about as qualified to be VP as my cat, and that is insulting my cat.
This matters how??? I am sure everyone will call her names, but she told the truth...just like the e-bay story..she told the truth and you guys make it out to be a lie by changing a few words. I am a democrat who is tired of the constant unfair attacks on McCain and Palin..
Sounds to me like Obamas trip over there where he never visited the wounded but came close !
That is probably just the tip of the iceberg. However, too much time is being spent focusing on Palin and not enough on the actual campaign between Obama and McCain. Let's face it, if McCain does get elected, he makes the decisions, not Palin. How often do we see or hear from a sitting Vice President? The last time I saw or heard of Cheney was when he was hunting last year. Let's say that McCain had picked Elizabeth Dole or Kay Bailey Hutchinson as his running mate, would he have the same standings in the polls as he does now? They certainly have a lot more experience. However, he choose someone very young with an attractive figure and looks who everyone has turned into a huge celebrity figure to distract the campaign for the past two weeks. The focus of the campaign seems to be Palin this and Palin that, yet the issues that matter don't seem to be getting center attention and it seems that McCain is hiding behind Palin and Obama is getting very little attention, and the issues that we need addressed are falling by the wayside.
So now they're ADMITTING they lied?
How novel!
Who cares, sounds like a bunch of bickering to me, blah blah blah
Atfer the Palin interview on ABC anyone who votes for McCain/Palin and say they love this country gots to be a fool.
Look at all the fluff they're trying put in her resume. They included a fueling stop as overseas travel...HA HA!! How pathetic.
I as an Obama supporter actually feel sorry for this woman. First off I think she is an intelligent woman who has come along way in a short amount of time. I just happen to be the polar opposite when it comes to the issues. I do however find it troubling that she's receiving this crash course on foreign policy issues. It's like reading the quick cliff notes instead of the book. The only people she's receiving her information from are right wing people telling her their view. I would feel much more comfortable if she was working with and studying with a group of people with many viewpoints and thereby making her own mind on foreign policy. I think she is well capable of doing this and much more, but it would take more time than the 54 days left in the election. Shouldn't this give us all pause?????
Let the truth-telling begin in earnest. Voters should be very, very angry that they have been treated so deceitfully and manipulatively by McCain and Palin and their handlers.
Elections mean nothing if voters can't base their decisions on accurate information.
Shame on McCain, who used to be an honorable public servant. Shame on Alaska's Queen of Pork, too.
Real change is coming, and that includes being straight forward and honest with the American people.
Obama/Biden '08
Trust me!!!!!!!!! This bubble is getting ready to burst.......
Wow, she landed in Ireland for fuel, can see Russia from Alaska, has stood on the border of Iraq, and vactioned in Mexico and Canada . . . how dare anyone say she's got no foreign policy experience.
LIAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCAin-Palin ... two bridges to NOWHERE!!! Wake up America!
Obama-Biden '08/'12
Haven't we heard enough lies, distortions and half-truths in the last 8 years? This is only the beginning America if McCain and Palin are elected. If we elect McCain, the lies will continue.
I can't believe all you people who are falling for it again. These republicans are known for their tactics. You know the old saying; This party fooled you once, shame on them. Their fooling you again, shame on you. You didn't learn your lesson the last time, and your not getting it again. Coming from a middle aged, middle income, white woman, open your eyes and take the blindfolds off, stop looking at people because they're not the same color as you. This is the 21st century and we're the only country that is stuck on the color of your skin. Don't you know yet that God created all of us equal. If you can't accept that, then you can't claim to be Christians, can you?
shouldn't lies like this be front page news? really?
You can't spell Sarah Palin without L I A R.
God the Republican Party pisses me off. They are the conservatives and the religious or righteous party, but its all the contrary. Such hypocrites and liars. Please wake up America. This lady is scary just being a step away from a 100 year old man who has survive cancer!
It's ridiculously short-sighted to inflate, embellish, or outright lie about foreign travel (and other items) that investigative journalists can debunk so easily. Isn't getting elected hard enough without damaging yourown credibility with these lies? Same goes for Obama-Biden...although there hasn't been very much myth-busting going on with that side of the aisle. Either they aren't telling lies or teh media isn't exploring them thoroughly.
DOES THIS WOMAN EVER TELLS THE TRUTH!!!DOES MCCAIN CAMPAIGN EVER TELLS THE TRUTH,HAVNT WE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP FOR EIGHT LONG YEARS,YOU CANT BELIEVE ANYTHING THIS WOMAN SAYS.ONE THING ABOUT OBAMA HE NEVER LIES,BUT THESE PEOPLE LIE SO MUCH THEY ARE BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THEMSELVES,
wow...I wonder which world leaders she spoke with at that Ireland refueling stop and I wonder if she came under "sniper" fire?
Padding the resume much?
When I was a child, I was so eager to appear well-traveled that I counted layovers in Chicago and Dallas as "visits" to those cities, hoping to impress my friends. I counted flying over the Grand Canyon as sightseeing there. I considered a train trip from RI to FL a good way to rack up even more states. A school trip to Arlington cemetery added VA to my list. Interesting that Sarah Palin employs those same juvenile techniques while running for VP.
Lately, they fudge the truth so much that it's hard to know when they really are telling the truth! Maybe it's really true, who knows.
Lies, lies, and more lies!!! Isn't the media tired of being lied to? We've had 8 years of lies. When is the media going to be "granted" a live interview with Gov. Palin? It would seem prudent to ask the next VP a few questions before she takes the oath? That is unless the media can say that her foreign policy experience of being able to see Russia from Alaska is enough to be the next Commander and Chief.
She said she sell state plane on e-bay, but I see her park a family owned plane in front of her personal house. So what is not good for the state is good for the number one citizen of the state.
Think about that.
McCain is lying to you America – youre being played. Wake up!
WE MAY NEED JOHN MCCAIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BUT FOR VICE PRESIDENT, A LIER, NO WAY. JOHN MCCAINS HERO, THEODORE ROOSEVELT MUST BE TURNING IN HIS GRAVE. COME ON JOHN YOU COULD HAVE DONE BETTER...I CERTAINLY DON'G WANT 232 YEARS OF HISTORY TO GO DOWN THE SEWER.
Another outright lie. Why???
The truth is starting to come out. Hope these biased news organizations can do their part and ask real IMPORTANT questions. Or maybe they'll sequester facts like they did with the run-up to the Iraq war
Obama/Biden 08/12
Here we go again another change to "a story".
What's next ? A new resume altogether?
I'm starting to wonder if Palin is ACTUALLY a woman!
Bush/McCain republicans are going to need an army of spin doctors to go around cleaning up all McCan and Palin's lies and untruths. When are the McBushs going to start talking about real issues (job loss, 2 wars, education, healthcare, foreclosures, bank failures, etc.).
Palin is still better than Hillary. We will bury anyone who stands against McCain.
Palin 2012
Gee..imagine her stretching the truth about an "experience".
The last four stories on your ticker are all about Palin. Guys its becoming ridiculous. Please cover the hurricane if you have nothing to do!
What a joke! LIES LIES LIES! You can't believe a word the McCain camp says!
OMG!!!!! Do the lies ever stop??? Take a good look, people before you vote!!!!!
lol...
It seems that Governor Palin lies for no apparent reason. Lying about traveling to four countries rather than stating the truth about only visiting Kuwait and Germany... Is four the magic number that makes you a world traveler?
Once again Palin has been caught in an untruth...can we believe anything that comes out of her mouth?People that lie about little things usually lie about larger issues.What really bothers me is that she didn't know the very basic Bush Doctrine....an excuse to go into Iraq...shoot first and ask questions later.Quick to pull the trigger but slow with answers afterwards.
No way..No how...Never Palin &Bush,Mc Cain
When is someone going to wake up to the fact that this woman is a pathological liar, and will say anything to get what she wants? I doubt many people would have been turned off to the fact that she hadn't traveled outside the US – after all, many Americans don't have the opportunity to do so, and it isn't truly a requirement to being an educated and informed person. So why the continual barrage of lies and trying to claim that a refueling stop constitutes "visiting Ireland"?
If she lied about this, what is the real truth about that Bridge to Nowhere, earmarks, her daughter "wanting" to keep that baby, rumors of abuse of power, and all the other rather scurrilous claims that are being used to put some gloss on this pit bull?
We need all the truth in this election and the McCain campaign should keep it in mind that their liars will not help them. I have traveled to 15 foreign countries and Sarah Palin have gone to only 3, hmmm I wonder how she is qualified to deal with out foreign affairs.
I don't know where they are coming up with these polls. I am 60 years old and have never been polled. Furthermore, I am a die-hard republican who for the first time in all good conscience cannot vote for the sad picks that the Republicans have made this year. They are the scariest two people out there, one pushing war more than the next. I am a very proud (I guess now an independent) American who will be voting for Barack Obama this year. God help all of us if we are destined to another four years of the Bush tactics and war plans. If McCain and Palin are so pro-life, then why do they continue to send out troops to kill. It isn't the troops fault. I respect them for fighting for their country, it is the leaders at the top who preach war, war, and more war, and spend, spend, spend and more spending that could be used at home for health care, jobs, and education.
Thank you.
The Palin campaign does not even know how to tell the truth on such simple issues as a travel itinerary. Not to mention the bridge to nowhere and a myriad of other issues already identified in only weeks of being in the public spotlight. How can anyone expect the truth on anything that surrounds this joke of a woman? Please Americans, use your brain and run run run from McCain/Palin and their lies.
Oh boy, Sarah and McCain is becoming a joke.
THE LIES FROM MCCAIN CAMP IS TOO MUCH. THEY WILL BE WORSE THAN BUSH (LYING ABOUT WMD) BECAUSE THEY ARE LYING THEIR WAY TO THE WHITEHOUSE. I FEAR FOR US ALL NO TRUTH WILL COME OUT OF THEIR MOUTH.
Obama/Biden 08
Mitt Romney 2012
HOW SAD! I wonder where are the republicans' clever little statements now
Mrs. Palin and Mr. McCain have taken the straight talk express and drove it off the cliff. Where is the honor ?
What a shock. Another lie. I'm sure it will get no media coverage and this posting will never be published.
Well, Palin didn't visit troops and she's not wearing a flag pin. It must be because she's an evil horrible American-hating commie terrorist who doesn't care about our troops. If that's what the Republicans want to say about their opponents, there's no reason it should be a double standard.
When will the American voter wake up and see the lies, distortions, half-truths and outright deception of this campaign? Why is the media not tougher and quicker on exposing the lies?
How many lies is she going to tell before they are elected?How many will they tell after,just like Bush/McCain?Carl R isstepping up his trash! We better not fall for it .Wewill all be the ones to lose.Do we not want a different gov?We will have it with the the democrats!
peg,tenn.
It sounds as if McCain acted precipitously in selecting Sarah Palin without a thorough investigation into what her qualifications to be president are. If this is an example of his decision making pocess I can't help but feel that he would present s serious danger to the nation were he to be making decisions as a president. His fuse is too short and his mouth is too vulgar.
So, basically, considering that I have been to Europe for vacation, one could say that I have more foreign policy experience than Sarah Palin.
MIKE IN 2012 – MORE QUALIFIED THAN HALF THE REPUBLICAN TICKET!
I don't think that anyone who has truly been following this woman is surprised, and I still think we've barely seen the tip of this iceberg.
Wow Palin lied.
Oh my gosh, you mean the straight talk express just isn't so?
They may be trying to mislead the voters?
It's not like the current republica* administration has mislead the country..................oh wait, they did!
Why on Earth would anyone think this administration would be any different?
Smell the coffee yet?
The worst thing you can do is lying about your work experience. In real world if you exagerated or lied about your professional past, you're mostly likely to lose your job or pay a price in one way or another. Americans have been blinded by folksy talk for the last 8 years, and I think this time around, for the sake of the wellness of their country, they should at least get past being able to hunt as an ultimate qualification to lead the country.
This woman is a crackpot. I bet John McCain is sorry he picked her.
This women is a total fraud. OMG!
Wow – I've taken more trips outside of the U.S. than Palin, and I'm only a law school student in my early 20s. Also, I guess Clinton's 18,000 supporters weren't paying attention to the fact that Palin previously described the Clinton campaign's cries of sexism as "whining" and setting women back.
The Flip Flop twins, McCain and Palin. Do say we say and make beleive that we do, not as we do.
Too bad Obama is not big enough to pick Clinton. I, a Clinton support er, now am all for McCain-Palin. I can see Obama takes any opportunities to attack Palin by twisting the facts. It is so obvious and is not working for me.
Nobama
drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
This woman is completely inept. Don't let the Republicans dumb down the first female candidate to be put on a republican ticket.
Republicans...we are not stupid. Stop using your lies and distractions to win another election and further destroy this country.
We are adults and this is not a vote for the high school prom queen.
You claim you love this country yet you manipulate the people you claim to represent.
Shame on you.
Lies, LIES, and More Republican LIES. How many lies can the electorate ingest from the RNC before tossing these fruitcakes.

I really love it this women,becouse iam arab back ground.
Thanks,

When do the unnecessary lies stop. If this was any other job you were applying for they would have thrown your application away,
Has anything about Palin actually been true? What a sham. The McCain campaign is creating a Rorschach candidate for Middle America that exists entirely in mythology. They could have chosen a random registered Republican out of a hat and created the same stories. The worst thing is they can probably get away with this and with spreading vile lies in their ads and on the stump because anyone who tries to rebuff them belongs to the evil liberal media.
Another lie
This woman is such a joke! McCain must have spent all of two minutes vetting this clown. All she did was back track in the Gibson interviews and she's getting caught in brand new lies every day! No wonder McCain waited almost two weeks before allowing Palin to answer even one question. No way Grampa John and Peggy Hill will ever get my vote.
You know I thought This woman who came on the platform at the convention with McCain was really a maverick, well I got really disappointed! I am a Hillary supporter who was going to vote the GOP ticket, but after all the STUFF that's coming out of the woodworks about Gov Palin, especially the investigations, earmarks and the way Sen McCain flat out lied on the View, the way Palin conducted herself on ABC with Mr Gibson, she is definitely no HILLARY! Anyone who have some common sense could see this woman is a FAKE! I was hoping she would be for us, but she is really for the PRESTIGE of VP and doing whatever it takes to shine. This VP has hurt me, and I refuse to give what is very important to me, which is my vote, to someone who lied about going to Iraq to visit the soldiers and if no other Democrat care about those men & women who gave their lives that we Americans might remain a free country, I will. Hillary and Obama have proven to be Authentic. I was listening to Hannity & Limbaugh and I feel real bad for allowing myself to be caught up in the deception of Operation Chaos. Sorry, I'm coming back home Democrats!!!!
Yet another "half-truth" from Mrs. Palin. Does the Republican Party have any ethics?
I can not follow McCain.
McCain's campaign LIES. Haven't we had enough of leaders that LIE to us? Obama may not be perfect, but he's not a LIAR!
Sarah rocks while Obama rots!
Bush campaigned with lies and deception and what we got was 8 years of continued lies, corruption and violation of the laws.
So what do all the McCain supporters think they will bet if McShame and Palin are elected? Do they think he will suddenly be a honest and upright in his actions?????
Bush lied in his campaign and then in 8 years. Logic holds that if McShame lies now he will do the same in office.
Wake UP America!!!!
So what? Where is the story? Obama didn't travel until he could get all you breastfeeding media folks to follow. Question. Are you at CNN paid Obama staff members or are you volunteers?
You do know that you no longer have any credibility don't you. You definitely are no longer the "most trusted" of the networks. It sad what you have done to a legacy Ted Turner worked so hard to attain.
WOW! Another lie? I'm shocked! Absolutely shocked. What else will we find when she is fully vetted?
Is there no end to their lies? And people seem to be swallowing it hook, line and sinker. It shows how seriously the Republicans really care about their country...lies don't matter, just winning. I am an independent and am looking for intelligence in my president. This is so unbelievable that the American people are falling for this yet again. I don't understand, I really don't.
"Campaign confirms Palin did not go beyond Iraqi border"
In some circles we call that a LIE
oh moose-munch,,, why do-ith thy lie soooooooooo much????
tell the truth and shame the DEVIL, little moosey-moo. it'll be that much easier for you. oh wait! i forgot, you're campaigning with HIM!!!!
moose-munch & bunch strike again...falling, falling, falling, ohhhhh.....
SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And THERE'S her foreign policy experiece, ladies and gentleman!
This is just the first of many things we will find out that she has not gone beyond...such as just having a Journalism Degree. She has not gone beyond her undergraduate studies.
Yap I told you..... Expect more to come.
watc hing tv today only one channel msnbc had anything good to say about obama . cnn, fox, headline bloomberg ,and fox new
all talk about sarah palin .&mcain. its so sad that the black man has to compete with everyone america will elect hitler before a black man
Okay let's be serious. If you can't even tell the truth about going to Iraq, how in the world can we expect you to tell the truth about anything! Yes, you and McCain are made for each other, but not for the White House. Note to Palin you don't have to tell White Lies to get into the White House!
In the words of Sam Cooke... A Change Is Coming, and that change is in the form of Barack Obama and Joe Biden!
Obama/Biden 08!
Republicans lying through their teeth for power, why do people find this surpising every time it happens?
Our greatest civic responsibility as citizens of the United States is to cast our votes wisely for those who will be tasked to lead and represent our country.
Listen to the candidates as they respond to the issues and determine if they have the maturity and wisdom to govern our nation. Theirs will be no small task, and we can ill afford the added repercussions of electing leaders who have a shallow or naive understanding of the issues and challenges that face our nation and the world.
We must think before casting our votes and place intelligence in the White House.
Another LIE??? I'm SHOCKED! (no, not really)
Don't forget, Palin has experience w/ Russia because she "can see Russia from one of Alaska's islands"
this is such a circus...
Ok CNN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! In my view you are perpetuating a disaster. Palin, Palin Palin Palin. ENOUGH!
Seriously, I want to hear more about the issues. Where do the PRESIDENTIAL candidates stand on the ISSUES. But I guess your ratings are more important than informing the public on thing that really matter.
CNN...You went from good, to complacent, to rating happy, to nothing but a disgrace.
can any one tell me if they investagated, if mrs palan was on a policitical junket sponcered by lobbiest, or was this a miltary air craft, or comerical, becuase i never heard of any plane leaving germany for the states having to get re fueled in ireland , how long was she in ireland, it seems that about 1/3 of all the things she had claimed during the campain have been proven not to be true, showing video of her in iraq with the troops, then saying now , ah i did cross a border crossing into iraq but went right back does not make this right , mc cain complained that obama did not visit the troops in germany and made a very big issue of it now palan never visited the troops in iraq as her video showed, but im bothered about this going to ireland thing ,has it been investigated, this story about getting fuel , to me is so far fetched, how long was she there , on what kind of air craft goes from germany to ireland fo fuel, i find that very hard to belive ,95% of all air traffic from germany is non stop to the states, it sounds like a lobbiest junket to me. the part about going to ireland to germany can not possibbly be true.if investagated will proubly be proven a non truth item ,after knowing her daughter was 5 mths pregnant, she never once told the party during that 5 months about this problem, nor did mc cain interviw staff catch it , like iraq you find out before the truth comes out that you have been misslead or even lied to. if you check this trip you will find out there was more to it than being said. ken
I want to know how she visited the wounded in Iraq if she did'nt go to Iraq?
Now THAT is foreign policy experience.
Whew, I feel so much better.
Good job.
Can't wait for the debates, should be about a 20 point swing as this unqualified actress is exposed.
Peace.
Lies
Lies
Lies
and More Lies
Keep them coming...this is the only way to keep the Bush legacy alive...
Who cares if Palin is the worst VP pick in history
McCain is the oldest out of touch Presidental pick in history
Bush was the worst President in history
The Republican tradition to destroy the country will continue with McCain and Palin....just wait
finally the lies will destroy the McShame-Failin campaign and I'm loving to see that coming, and I'm looking for Obama's landsline win in Nov.
coz bill Clinton said so
So when Obama hadn't been in two years mccain bashed him continuously for it yet his running mate has NEVER been. What hypocrisy! Tired of the lies, the spins, the deceit, tired of the rethuglicans.
I for one would like to THANK THE AMERICAN NEWS ORGANIZATIONS FOR VETTING PALIN!
If the Boston Globe hadn't exposed this lie, McCain and Palin would have continued to mislead the American people about this issue!
Over the past two weeks it has been the media, not McCain, telling us the truth about Palin's record as governor. She asked for and took earmarks! She was for the bridge! She didn't sell the plane on ebay or for a profit! She hired a Washington lobbyist! Obama wasn't talking about Palin when he made the pig remark! McCain and Palin are running the most deceitful campaign I can remember, which makes me wonder how deceitful a McCain/Palin presidency would be.
Hopefully, we will never find out. We've been lied to enough!
Obama/Biden
So she...li...what's the word I'm looking for? Liiieeee.... something. OH yeah, LIED! Again and again. I once saw Mexico from San Diego, does that mean I've been there too? Plus there was all that time I spent in Houston, so I know all about how Ike affected that city, after all, I had a layover flight there once.
Who are the people who are buying this Republican bull?!? Are people really that stupid!?!? Well, someone elected Bush to office twice.
She could see into Iraq, so I guess that counts...
Man, the Obama campaign is over-blowing, distorting, and downright misleading people about McCain, Palin, and their campaign. Actually they are twisting facts into lies to support their panic mode. This sounds as if they think they have a "Gotcha" but they don't. Palin did not say she visited the troops in Iraq. She didn't say she visited Ireland either. This is all much ado about nothing and Obama is making himself and his campaign appear weak, insecure, and, actually, frantic.
Does Sarah Palin tell the truth about ANYTHING? Other than the fact that she has four kids???
Every claim she made in her RNC speech has been proven to be either an outright lie, or something terribly misleading.
Christians values? Commandment 6: Tell the TRUTH, sly Sarah.
It seems Ms Palin struggled mightily to actually complete a basic college education-5 transfers, 4 colleges, 6 years. I wonder if she can reliably find Iraq or Afghanistan on a map without coaching. Could she name the lower 48 states and locate them on a map? Does she have a clue that our country is a rich multiracial mix and that most people live in urban areas and have no experience with shooting wolves from a helicopter?
She is promoting a myth of a fictitious past that most Americans at this point never experienced.
The good ol' days are gone. This country as the McCain/Palin ticket would have us believe doesn't exist. It's a new world, with very new problems and issues. McCain/Palin does not get it.
Talk about arrogance. Obama actually believes that "in his own words" As a Mayor, you fill pot holes, trim trees and make sure the garbage is taken away. What an insult to all the dedicated people that put their names up for election and work for very little renumeration.. Manage budgets, recruit industry, work to better every aspect of the peoples lives who they represent.
LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE TO WIN YOUR VOTE.
There goes Palin`s foreign policy experience out the window, sooner or later the truth will always reveal itself.
She is all smoke, and mirrors.
All i keep seeing is Sarah talking about Obama, but never about the issues that matters of us Americans.
White woman are not the only important group in American. There are other ethnic groups and men. When are the American people going to stop putting white women on a pedestal?
Everyone is important.
McCain and Palin don't seem to care about all of America, just a small fraction.
The president of such a diverse country should care about all Americans not just white people.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lies are what McCain is good at just like George Bush. His whole campaign is a lie. We all know Palin was not vetted throughly. The Bridge to Nowhere-LIE No Earmarks another Lie, No Iraq quess what another Lie the list goes on and on!
Seems to Me: Palin Is Failin'
McCain-Palin "The Original Liars"
Obama-Biden 08 "The Original Candidates of Change"
Of course she didn't. Now will they also admit all the other lies the RNC and she herself has touted over the past two weeks? Since the lies are not selling, maybe they could try the truth, but then we'd all know how really unqualified the woman is for the job she seeks. I just hope the Republican voters are paying attention-this team is a disaster for the US.
If you believe you are the right candidate, could you not just tell the truth? This goes for both sides.
**
will the lies ever END with this woman... Again... Liars in the whitehouse is NOT an America we can or should live with another 4 years..!!
**
The McCain campaign continues to lie and deceive. Palin does not have the foreign policy experience to be VP.
What won't they lie about? If they lie this much on the campaign...how can we trust them to govern? The answer is we can't. Vote for honesty, vote for Obama/Biden.
Unqualified. IF ANY BODY SEEN THE INTERVIEW WITH CHARLIE GIBSON AND LOVED THIS COUNTRY THEY WOULD NOT VOTE MCCAIN-PALIN. DIDN'T KNOW BUSH DOCTRINE. CAN SEE RUSSIA SO THATS FORIEGN POLICY EXPERIENCE. EXTREMELY!!UNQUALIFIED!
I like McCain. I really do. I think he would be better suited to handle foreign affairs. (Even with a foreign affairs whiz like Joe Biden now on Obama's ticket... Biden-Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee) But I can't vote for McCain now that he has chosen some as inexperienced as Sarah Palin.
I guess I'm still torn. But I'm finding myself leaning to the Democratic ticket now.
Also fwiw, I think it will be funny to see Biden mop the floor with Palin in the VP debates. Which now pique my interest in a lot of ways more than the Presidential debates do. (Those I think Obama and McCain will likely "split.")
If anyone here wants to see this woman open her trap for a good laugh, watch her interview on ABC....
In which she basically said NATO should accept Georgia into the organization, and that any further conflict from Russia would lead to conflict with the US.... oh but we should enter to "Cold war mentalites."
Ugg.... Her avoiding the Sunday talk shows the first week she was chosen was a good idea by the McCain camp. They need her to read her speaches that are written for her, sit around and look pretty.....and NOT TALK.
Kev from Providence.
i cannot beleive this woman. she lied to charlie gibson. she really scares me as a woman with her policies. she is no hillary clinton. pull up the tape of what mccain said in the debates about small town mayors and governors who had hardly any experience. he is really running sleazy compaign. shame on him.
Hasn't she always maintained that she visited Kuwait? So what's the issue here?
Oh she scares me so much. Can you imagine her as president?
"Visiting Ireland" was actually a fueling stop? I wonder what those other international "visits" were really for? Looks like the lipstick is wearing thin.
Good Grief! How can anyone continue to support the Republican fools running our country into the ground? Even religious fanatics must have to accept reality at some point, don't they?
grab your shovels there's so much more about this little darlin'. she would be comical if she weren't so tragic and the ramifications so dire.
She claims 'visiting Ireland' when her plane was refueling in that country. Why did she not claim all the countries she has seen on the discovery channel (or does she maybe not watch documentaries without oil and moose?)
More lies. It's hard to believe that God would be on the side of those who lie consistently.
McCain only asked the mooses in Alaska whether Palin is worthy to be Vice President and possibly President. We now know that his vetting team never vetted Palin thoroughly. America, this election is too important to our children and the future of this country to allow lies and ignorance to guide us in the next four years.
Surprise surprise...more misinformation from the McCain camp.
.."In What Repsect, Charlie??"
The Only thing that will change is who is Telling the Lies to the American Public..
I truly would like to know why the media is so bent on destroying Palin and giving Obama coverage as if he were the second coming!
The media needs to be a bit more impartial and start going after Obama for his lack of any experience to run this country. At least both McCain and Palin have had leadership jobs.
Obama has not even run a small business, local or state government. Why isn't the media going after Obama??
Why the witch hunt about Palin?
It appears the McCain people have overstated many Palin accomplishments.
She stated she was responsible for ending the bridge to nowhere. That statement was incorrect because now we know she supported it and that Congress (not Palin) killed it (and she kept the money for that bridge and built a road to nowhere).
McCain himself stated Palin sold the plane on ebay for a profit, which was incorrect. It was actually sold to a private buyer through a broker at a loss to the Alaska people. She then began charging the state for flights for her and her family members.
She has stated she is against earmarks, yet hired a lobbyist to get millions in earmarks for Alaska now her trip to Iraq is untrue.
She is just like any other politician. Says what she has to to get votes, even if what she says is a lie. I realized this when she continued to avoid questions in her Gibson interview.
He had to ask her point blank three times what she would do for the economy. He asked about her foreign affairs experience and she started talking about energy.
Back to Obama for me.
New button: Palin – just another politician.
How long will American continue to fall for these GOP lies?
So she lied AGAIN, what else is new? Come on, she is a pathological liar, but that isn't knew, we all knew that from the beginning.
Why are they lying? Haven't we had enough yet? Cindy McCain for something as simple as recipes? How stupid is that?? John McCain for the "elite-est " comments, among other things, and now Palin with all sorts of tales? If they want people to believe their promises, plans, etc.- PLEASE tell the truth NOW for pete's sake. Is this the pair we want to lead our country? Is Palin anywhere capable of helping to lead, or possibly leading, our country?
Not a big deal. Lots of people are afraid of going to Iraq.
Any woman who can breastfeed and skeet shoot at the same time is qualified to be the president.
McCain can claim more time in Washington but that does not equate to more experience or better leadership qualities. It obviously has not done our country any good either with him in Washington.
McCain/Palin continue to perpetuate one lie after another. Please call them on it. Do your job and call them what they are: LIARS.
Ya gottal love the logic of Gov. Palin/Sen. McCains team... Sarah has little if any foreign policy knowledge, BUT... she can see Russia from her kitchen window and that somehow, makes her like middle-America Joe, and capable of leading our nation in foriegn affairs. I can't wait to hear her stance on immigration and how that might be spun.
Oh this is so much fun! We citizens had better take the time to laugh and enjoy this "silly season" but also never forget the depths our nation had to plunge before "we the people" awoke.
I pray that Senators Obama and Biden remain true to thier core character and beliefs and that they actually will try to put people ahead of interests that are corporate and not citizen focused.
Obama/Biden 08!
p.s. I just gave another $5 to the campaign. I only make $1000/mo. My point is... almost anyone can figure a way to contribute something, even a token amount, to the campaign. Please try... for our great country and for those of us living in this country. Help yourself... contribute in some way.
Will it ever end. Is there ever going to be just one story, where sarah palin does not stretch the truth, make misleading claims, or just out and out lie! Has she no shame? I really hope that these are not the morals that she is teaching to her children.
lies , lies – it is all coming out!!!
Not Surprising! Falsehoods, Lies and Misleading Information is all you ever get from McCain/Palin. I went to my first protest today against the pro-choice stand that McCain/Palin stand on here in Anchorage Alaska and because this event was so publicized I expected more McCain/Palin supporters but that was not the case. 100's to each 10 supporters for McCain. This race is not over in Alaska!
We clearly see a pattern of deception on the part of the Mcsame campaign. They have consistently lied and distorted facts to pad her record. It's not going to work. Just the other day, I read that this campaign inflated the number of people that attended their rally in Virginia by as much as three. Who are they fooling?
This makes me to wonder if she has gone to canada, Mexico and Ireland as she says. There is so much discrepancy in their stories.
I'm an independent and I am leaning towards OB.
I also wish the media wouldn't trivialize the McCain campaigns' dishonesty.
IT SHOULD BE A BIG DEAL WHEN A PRESIDENTIAL OR VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LIES AND INTENTIONALLY MISLEADS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE REGARDING THEIR RECORD AND POSITIONS ON POLITICAL ISSUES.
I don't think it really matters. She has effectively given the bigots and ignoramuses of the right-wing someone to cheer and vote for.
If substance (i.e. talent, education, achievement, truthfullness) or judgement (i.e. against Iraq war) mattered the Repubs would be dead in the water.
In fact all that matters is the GOP have a new pet, and she's shiny and white...
How can the evangelicals keep defending her to be a conservative christian when she keeps on lying to move forward. She does not think for a second when asked to respond on very critical issues, she just utters which is very dangerous. We know that family has its ups and downs. But it struck me to see her choose campaign over her family which needed her most. she is greedy for power and attention she wants all eyes on her, she does not care how her toddler is handling it. She was already a governor could she not have been satisfied with that office. Must she be a VP to get satisfaction of serving America?? She needs to slow down. And women she is lying to you about being a hockey mom, She has her family intact, has a well paying job, a supportive husband and you are struggling to survive on your own without help from the fathers of your kids. Do not be fooled, do not be used, she does not have your interests at heart.
Good foreign policy list.
Layover in Ireland (I guess I could be mayor of Atlanta if layovers counted as experience)
Went to vacation in Mexico and Canada once (Ive been on vacation in more countries and more times, so I guess I have foreign policy experience too)
Add to that she can see Russia (but has never spoken with them) from Alaska and she sure is ready on day 1.
Another lie? No way?
IS THERE ANYTHING THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN WILL NOT LIE ABOUT?
Trigger-happy Palin is miscalculating. She thinks that her deploying her son to Iraq will give her the image of a tough fighter who supports the Iraq war.
Americans are tired of wars, they want to rebuild their sattered economy and be able to do business with the world again in a respectful way.
The Iraq war is not on top of the issues voters care about – the economy is.
Hey! I've visited Mexican restaurants and I've been within seeing distance of Canada! Would these also count as foreign travel experiences to the McCain camp?
John McCcain has lost all respect that people had for him in 2000. His straight talk express has fallen off the track. His constant lying on the campaign trail about Barack Obama will come back to bite him. His campaign is run by ex-Bush staffers and Karl Rove, the head sleaze bag from the Bush Administration. People see through his lies and distortions from the truth. McCain's selection of Palin for VP is purely political. She knows nothing about national security or the world in general. McCain's campaign will not allow her to answer questions from the press for good reason; her answers would show that she doesn"t know anything about foreign policy, national security, domestic policy , the war in Iraq or even what role a VP plays as part of the executive branch. She has lied about "The Bridge to Nowwhere", having supported it before it became a national disgrace wherein she decided to not support it. She said she is against "Earmarks", but even hired lobyists to get earmarks for not only her town but also for her state. She used her position as Governer to fire Alaska's top cop because he would not fire her ex-brother-in- law as she and the rest of her family wanted. To make her a VP candidate is the worst move of any Presidential candidate. She is not prepared to be president especially to take the place of McCain who has one foot in the grave and one foot on a banana peel.
Liar, Liar, paints on fire!!!
Wow! Another false McCain Ad! Has a single one of his ads not been proven false by independent fact check orgs?
Geeze, every time I turn around there seems to be yet another report about something new that Palin has misrepresented and she's been on the national scene all of what...two weeks? What a disgrace. And THIS is who the Christian Right support and hold up as their poster child? Unbelievable! Then when you consider all the lies about Obama in McCain's campaign ads, the same McCain who says he prays every day. Has he not heard, "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour"??
Palin may not have heard about the "Bush doctrine" but she's seems to be a follower of the "Pinocchio Doctrine"! McCain too, in my opinion.
And the Republican word twisting machine fails again. Conduct unbecoming of a politician even.
I think the nation is waiting to see if Sarah Palin has left her ego behind and started to realize she's in way over her head running as VP. This will collapse and it's not going to be pretty.
Oh my goodness.. The truth will set us free. Obama does not have to question her false statements and fabrications. She is a liar and the hot air is starting to come out of her balloon. Broken and deflated hot air balloons are hazardous to our health. Go back to Alaska Todd and Sarah, you will never reside in Washington. Go Obama. People first, Let the truth be told....
This nightmare that is Sarah Palin has got to stop. This is crazy! She's interviewing for the 2nd highest job in the world, and she is failing badly. She is not remotely qualified. Not by a long shot. McCain is a cynical old man, and made a terribly disappointing choice for VP.
NEW REPORTERS !!!!!!!!! WHAT WOULD WE EVER DO WITHOUT THEM
LIAR, LIAR, MOOSE ON FIRE!
So much deception in the Republican campaign. Wake up America, don't fall for them. Eight years is enough.
Can somebody tell me why Governor Palin continues to lie about everything from going to Iraq, to bridge to Nowhere, to earmarks etc. Come on you media people, it is time to stop her from using your program to perpetuate lies to the infinite, this is wrong, and an abomination for that matter.
Just one more lie, they are starting to add up.
Why would we expect an accurate account of her travels?
I can't wait to see the next statement from the McCain camp saying this revelation is sexist too.
I mean the lie about her not going to Iraq doesn't surprise me at all, but outside of North America for the first time, are you serious? That's absolutely pathetic, we need someone who is diplomatic, respected, and seasoned in world affairs and relations. Not her!
Obama Biden '08
Ohhhhhhhhhhh! She went to Mexico for a vacation!!!! She's qualifiesd to lead the free world.
How many more lies are going to be found out about this woman?
Geez, it's just one lie after another; doesn't anyone here get that this ticket is a disaster waiting to happen for another four years. I'm sick of this already - vote Obama/Biden. Bring hope back to our country rather than the acceptance of mediocrity that has become so pervasive in this country over the last 8 years.
Sarah Palin is scary! If she lies so much, as the article indicates, why would anyone, Republican or Democrat, consider voting this ticket????
The media need to hold John McCain responsible for all this mess, and lies coming out from Sarah Palin's mouth.
S H A M E F U L S H A M E F U L S H AM E F U L
If we have to teach our kids not to lie, how can a Governor continue to lie openly while our children watch her on the Television.
My God. McCain-Palin are pathological liars!! That alone should disqualify them from becoming potus.
Wake Up America! Not only is the Iraq trip false, her trip to Mexico was on a vacation! A view of Russia across the Bering Strait gives her "insight" into Russian policy? That means when I put a band aid on my kids' elbow that makes me an orthopedic surgeon! "It's God's Will" is a cop out! That means not only whatever goes right, it's God's Will, and what ever doesn't go their way is God's Will also? Whatever happened to God's gift to man-free will? The free will to make the decisions and choices that are the "wills" that actually determine what we do on this planet? And this foreign policy expert is ready to go to war with Russia and or Iran at the drop of a hat? Once this planet is resting in a cloud of nuclear dust, will this same expert still claim it's "God's Will" just to try to prove her point? Oh, and as a veteran, I would like to thank her for painting a proverbial target on her son's chest, and those men and women serving next to him. Idiot!
Bravo to Obama spokesman Bill Burton for saying "We will take no lectures from John McCain, who is cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history and that he is running a campaign not worthy of the office he is seeking." McCain/Palin distortions of the truth as well as bald faced lies show that they will do anything to win the election. I just hope the majority of Americans will see that McCain can't focus on issues because he would certainly lose if citizens took the time to really read about and understand McCain/Palin idealogy. This election is bigger than abortion and gun control. It is about the survival of our democracy and our standing in the world.
A republican that says one thing and does another? This comes as a profound shock to me. Totally.
You poor , naive, gullible Americans. Have you learned nothing over the last eight years ? In Canada were amazed that you might actually vote in this stunnigly unstable Republican ticket ! I gotta admit though ; you do keep things interesting.
wow, what else about her past is Gov. Palin lying about? i was thinking of voting for McCain because of her, but nope, i hate lying i don't trust her anymore.
John is gambling. So far...so good.
Wow whats next, ... more and more lies....laughable
Let's see...so far.......
1. Was against the bridge to nowhere .......LIE
Was for it, then only 'against' it after Congress ridiculed it – kept the earmark $ anyway!
2. Was against earmarks .......LIE
Sought more earmarks PER CAPITA than any other MAYOR & GOVERNOR in the nation!
3. Foreign policy experience incl. IRAQ & IRELAND ....LIE!
All that's left is that she has 'seen' Russia' from Georgia
4. Is a REFORMER when it comes to ethics & honesty ....LIE
Is currently trying to block BIPARTISAN, INDEPENDENT COUNSEL investgation of TROOPERGATE
5. Agrees iwth McCain on GLOBAL WARMING as well as STEM CELL RESEARCH.....LIES!
Finally, the MSM will be forced to call the MCCain campaign for what it is! A pack of lies!
AND THE LIES JUST KEEP ON COMING!!!!!! OBAMA AND PALIN 08!!! GO HOME MCPALIN....
What has the Republican party NOT lied about – WMDs, Iraq behind 9/11, "Mission Accomplished", Iraqi oil to pay for the war (not only has it not, but now that the Chinese got the bid, it never will), and Palin-please, how Insulting! They only picked her to pander to women, and I for one have not forgotten how unsupportive they as a party have been to women over the years. (Go back and read Phylis Shafley's speeches about working women!) It's taken them over 20 years to notice one, and what an insult to all the qualified women in the Republican Party (apparently too old for McCain who likes them young. Ladies, let's not forget how he left his marriage for Cindy, 18 years his junior and then has left Cindy Alone in AZ for 26 yrs. while he's in DC. Some husband).
For one who believes in abstinence, Palin should practice what she preaches (anyone notice how she got married the last day of Aug. and gave birth 8 months later! Premature?) She Never sold the plane on ebay, it was sold at a Loss to an insider. She wanted the Bridge to Nowhere until Congress balked, but Kept the money. Welcomes an investigation into Trooper gate, but wants to squash the subpeona. Admonished by the judge for being "abusive", Doesn't like earmarks, but hires a lobbiest to get them and Alaska has the Highest earmarks per capita! Enough.
Fellow Americans, we have Major issues to face, and yes, the issues are Boring. Most of us do not want to have to come home after a long day to deal with our own issues, let alone the country's complex issues. But I implore you, we cannot continue to Ignore the issues. If you are Not Interested, fine, but Don't vote for a party that has Bankrupted our country, sent our soldiers to war Without the proper equipment, Without enough equipment, and Without enough troops (against military advise) to fight a war in Iraq when we needed to be Afghanistan! This election is no joke and with the way things are going, don't think for one minute that you may be the next one out on the street without a job, a home, and healthcare!
Wow, Mexico and Canada. Is there anything Palin can't do?
Will they just stop lying!! anyone can access the truth these days so it behoves to GOP to stop the lies...
she doesnt even hold a candle to HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!
You can see Russia from Alaska! Why isn't this women president yet?
The media is not doing there job on Governor Palin, she want to be a Vice President, and or the President of the United State Of America, if so, then she need to be examined, and grilled like you the media did to Hilary Clinton
I was shocked when I read the Sept 13th artical, "Campaign confirms Palin did not go beyond Iraq border". Why does this information not get mentioned during your prime time programs? I think this distortive information should be mentioned more than once. As an Independent I want to know what is truth and what is a lie or misrepresentation. It is your job to keep us informed. As a loyal CNN viewer, I feel betrayed when this information is not relayed to me. I want to make an informed decision when I vote this year.
Wow. Didn't she say in the Charlie Gibson interview that "THE TRIP TO IRAQ CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!!"
Now it turns out it was yet another lie?!?!
As Truman once said, "How many times do you have to get hit over the head before you figure out who's hitting you?"
If Americans can't see past the blatant Palin/McCain dishonesty, and elect them on November 4th, then this country deserves the lousy economy, unemployment, etc.
Wow! Another lie! Let's see if CNN posts this! Will you cover her lie as you did Hillary during the Bosnia sniper fire story? Palin's story is even worse. While Hillary actually went to Bosnia, Palin never went to Iraq. This is just another despicable to lie that the media will probably not hold them accountable for.
WHAT IS SARAH PALIN HIDING?? HOW CAN ANYONE EXPECT TO TRUST HER WHEN SHE REFUSED TO BE TREATED LIKE THE REST OF THE CANDIDATES AND TAKE QUESTIONS FROM REPORTERS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL?
WHAT IS SARAH HIDING? WHAT IS SARAH HIDING?
More lying? They won't stop (republicans) unless the American voters say they've had enough by voting democratic.
Another day, another lie debunked from the McCain/Palin ticket.
While I have a lot of respect for Sarah Palin and can relate to her as an individual – I'm realizing that I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of her as vice-president.
Cnn lovely coverage. what else is new?
we already knew that she was winging through her interview!
Yes, it seems the media has figured out the truth that the McCain campaign has a notable problem with dishonesty and is not letting the republicans cow them. Good for you. the media learned after 9/11 that being fearful of unearthing truth can lead us into bad places. Keep it up CNN.
For America. For us all.
We will not be fooled again. Not if we stay true and firm.
How many more lies before the American people wake up and see what these two and their party are all about. POWER, LIES, WIN AT ANY COST.......... JUST REMEMBER, NO PLANS OR ANYTHING THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR IF THEY GET YET ANOTHER CHANCE TO RUIN THIS COUNTRY.
When did she say she went to Iraq?
Palin–the manufactured "reformer"!! McCain campaign really vetted this one. Nothing but lies!!
Ok! This is starting to become stupid!! All of these dumb accusations!!
Lies and Lies and MORE lies
Sarah Palin said she had a "real responsibilities" in Wasilla a town of around 5,000 when she first became mayor. But how did she handle the job? Palin did not secure the land to build her self-touted indoor sports complex. This led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in EXTRA costs for this small town; already the construction bond was $14.7 million, when the entire city budget was approximately $20 million. Palin raised the city sales tax, a regressive tax that was even on food. See WSJ, 9-6-08
All this was done in a town without a sewer system – surely questionable priorities – but Sarah wanted to be a hockey mom or a pit bull with lipstick.
Sarah Palin did manage to extensively remodel the Wasilla City Hall and had her office redecorated more than once during her tenure as mayor from 1996 to 2002.
Sarah Palin could immeasureably increase the national debt.
So many lies....who is this woman?
I honestly believe the most honest thing to do is for McCain to come clean about Sarah Palin. There is no point lying to the American public because we are not foolish. Why sugar-coat her qualifications? Why lie about earmarks she sought? Why lie about her support for 'bridge to nowhere'? Why lie that she went to Iraq- when in fact she never stepped on Iraqi soil?
Once again, it is proved that the McCain/Palin ticket is being dishonest. It is time the people of this country stood up for what is right. The Republicians refuse to accept any responsibility for the war, for poverty, for un-insured citizens, for our horrible debt , just to name a few things & it was on their watch & their's alone that led us into this horrible mess. Stand up for what is right for the country not just for yourselves. Vote for Barack Obama & Joe Biden. And I used to be Repppublician. No more. Enough is Enough!!
You know, I still can't believe that people are so extensively questioning Sarah Palin's experience to be vice president, but it seems disproportionally more than any questioning that has been done about Barack Obama's experience and he's the candidate for PRESIDENT. She's probably more qualified than he is. He hasn't even written any piece of legislation during his two years in the Senate.
This is the lowest we have seen in Politics.....Palin is running as a Conservative Christian...Both McCain and Palin should be asamed of themselves....I am a Christian and the manipulation and lies from the McCain/Palin ticket is disappointing. The republicans claim to be the moral party....How can you believe anything they say!!!! The press, and the people of the United States should not let the Republican Party get away with this kind of Politics.....
Do they really have to lie about so many things?
Time spent outside of the country is critical to understanding how others in this world view the United States.
Diplomacy and presidential leadership requires this understanding in order to forward our national objectives. We see the consequences of the lack of this understanding of the world in some of our current foreign policy - which republicans intend to continue.
Republican or democrat, I would simply love to have a president who is respected, intelligent and enlightened through travel and experience.
While she has strong core values and American identity, I'm not sure Gov. Palin has developed her ability to relate and communicate outside of her political camp, and I am afraid this will encourage cronyism... I don't see reform in this context.
More McCain-Palin lies. I wonder when the media will get a backbone and start demanding that she give press conferences and interviews that aren't scripted and over-edited.
Journalist have an obligation and the people have a right to hear from Palin – and not the same old rehearsed stump answers and speeches.
SENATOR MCCAIN
" Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
SENATOR MCCAIN IF YOU GET ELECTED WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE CALLED BY WHAT YOU BECAME THIS LAST WEEK THE SLEAZIEST POLETICIAN PROBABLY THIS IS WHY GEORGE BUSH
ATTACK YOUR TEMPER IN 2000.
Palin will be a right wing disaster for USA muich worse than Bush
Wow, another lie for Governor Wingnut - I've honestly lost count.
Not even Spiro Agnew was anywhere near this bad. That's some judgment in picking her, Senator Senile .....
The Repugs will piss on your back and tell you it's raining.
We have had enough of lies from Bush/Cheney, now all of this?
NO MORE PLEASE
Cnn keeps blocking me, but I will try again. This woman has done nothing but lie to the American people since becoming the Republican VP candidate. What will she do once she gets into office?Read the NY Times article on her , section A-1 that will be in sunday's paper!!!
Sounds like McCain has picked a travel partner.
omg...palin did not go beyond iraqi border because if she had she would have gained extraordinary foreign policy experience and tip the scale in the commander in chief category of experience. if she had gone a few miles into iraq from the border towns she would have proven....she would have proven that......she would have ...uh...uh....if she would have gone beyond the iraqi border towns then what?
what's the point again to the proximity of her visit to the border in iraq? what a bunch of idiot! always dumbster diving for the most ridiculous thing to attack a woman on. This will go down history as the most gender bias, sexist election ever! congrats Dnc.
What goes up, must come down.
Lie. . . chip . . .lie . . . chip . . .lie . . .chip. Darn, there goes my whole karl rove created back-story.
So what !!?
she can actually see Russia from where she grew up !!
HAHAHAHAHAH
Hopefully the american people will realize that Palin is just a marketing product as was W. I am amazed that McCain didn't pick a more capable VP such as Meg Whiteman.
Sarah has never said she went to Iraq so this is a bit of a smear article.
Tell us something NEW...this woman lies about everything she says.
It is so sad to see her taking the spot light with McCain wagging his tail behind her. This woman can't take care of her personal life how is she going to take care of our Country WHY ! WHY! WHY!
Ever since the Bushies took over, the Republican party has been consumed with greed with integrity left by the wayside. This election should be about who we can trust and what are their motives. Being Republicans excuses both McCain & Palin from telling the truth about anything.
Lies, lies and more lies. But hey, she's a woman and he's a POW. Lying exscused.
this is the beginning of all the lies that will be brought to light about this right winged whack job. She is a shameless opportunist that will lie about anything and anyone to get what she wants. I can imagne how she was in highschool, a spoiled little girl who would pout and whine when she didn't get what she wanted. Go OBAMA
More lies from McCain-Palin. America has had enough! Go OBAMA!
AMERICA...THIS is what I don't like about this whole Governor Palin situation. The McCain campaign is CONSTANTLY exaggerating about her past accomplishments.
This tells me ONE THING...
THEY KNOW she has not done as much as they have tried to make it out to be.
THEY KNOW she really isn't experienced enough to be President IF something were to happen to Se. McCain
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING...
THEY KNOW if the truth comes out, most non-Republican Americans will not vote for the McCain/Palin ticket.
I am so sick of all the lies coming from "The Straight Talk Express". Maybe it should be called the "I'll Do Anything To Be Like Bush Express".
It really has gotten rediculous. Why do any americans continue to buy into this deceitful McCain and his lobbyist run campaign?
OK, has she visited Canada, or has she flown over it on her way to the mainland? This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Are we going to see this woman on the Sunday morning shows? Or is it somehow sexist to expose her for the fraud that McCain is attempting to perpetrate? I don't blame Palin, she is who she is and that's fine, but our country has way too much at stake to allow this shell game to continue.
Another lie! What a surprise- let me know when the McCain camp chooses to tell the truth. It's sad to see McCain who I once admired as a candidate run such a nasty campaign. I can never believe what the McCain campaign says again- NEVER!
Obama/Biden '08
America wake up!
Palin is a wacko liar, and a time bomb waiting to explode. She cannot liar her way to the Whitehouse. Remember the WMD lies of Bush/Cheney is nothing but a colossal failure.
same old politics, it already starts with fabrication of the facts and distortion of the truth, mccain and palin should not win, they will not only lie to get elected, they will lie even more when elected, and when for some reason people vote for them, this is a nightmare morning to wake up to,
people vote smart, we had 2 elections stolen with lies, enough already!
Palin is getting to be a joke. I mean really ,her selection by John McCain is almost like "open the phone book and pick a name". It may be true that Obama was new presidential politics but he has been around now for 18 months. If there was anything to discredit him from becoming president ,the Republican party and the Clintons would have found it and pounced on it. Palan on the other hand has no credintals. Madona would get as much press. John McCain get credit for sturring the pot and I guess if that is what you want from a presidential canidate , vote for him. The dynamic duo is like the proverbal duck we all know. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and looks like a duck . It most likleyis a duck even if it has lipstick on it.
caught in another lie gee what a surprise.vote for these two sleeze merchants and god have mercy on us all.
The true shame of this election is the fact that George Soros is almost single-handedly being allowed to destroy the bulk of the main stream media along with the once great democratic party. Very sad. Wake up people.
Is there anything this McShame/Pack-of-lies-Palin campaign won't lie about? Yet the gullible will still stumble after them in a fervor thinking they're wonderful and honest!
Oh yeah, and visiting Canada & Mexico gives Pack-of-lies-Palin a real edge on handling Foreign Policy – especially in the Mid-East! NOT!
Another article came out today where McCain campaigners admitted that they're running a dirty campaign because of the increased response they received after McCain wasn't receiving enough attention when they were trying to be more on the level! I think McCain sold his soul to the Devil to win this campaign at all costs, w/Rove being the broker in the deal!
How sad for this great country if these two sleazes win!
When is Palin goiing to stop being a tool?
I can't believe anyone with an ounce of self respect could stand before the American people and tell as many lies as McCain and Palin.
The McCain lies are starting to come back to haunt his campaign! The constant lies, twist, and turns of the tongue is no way to run a campaign. If McLame wins the election we as a nation deserve what we get!!! Remember Roman empire? Where are they at today? Get my drift??
I can not believe people can lie that big on record. But all is well at least they admitted that they lied.Although there are many more lies.
What do we expect- The McCain Campaign did not choose the v.p candidate for the good of the country- but for her public speaking ability, not as much baggage as some- (they thought) – and – someone they thought they could control- now- they need to lie- reinvent history- and rely on nasty tactics- as my mother use to say- "just consider the source"- and "half truths are whole lies"- "how about -figures don't lie but liars figure"- rlb
Why all these constant lies? I just don't get it. They have to know people are going to fact check.
AND
If she crossed the border crossing into Iraq....then she was in Iraq.
The Dems are clealy grasping for straws now that they see they will lose this election.
More Lies...Not a good way to look Presidential
People...are we this stupid to accept this
The people who beat up McCain in 2000 are now working for him
McCain is not the good man he was back then
Now he is just a Rove clone
Just one more lie from John Mccain . How low can a an honerable man go. Aides or not " I'm John Mccain and I apporve this message"
The buck stops with him!
Is anyone here surprised that once again the Republicans are caught in a lie? The theme for these two "mavericks" is how many lies can we get people to swallow?
Ms. Palin,
you're too dumb to understand that Mcshamless and his good ol boys are putting you on
banking on the fact that you are clueless.
i guess i'll never get through your thick skull....
wait, look at GW bush,
you look even dumber than he does,
though you lie just as well!
do your kids a big favor, and bow out before the damage's done, LOL
Just another example of the desparate Republicans. They'll do or say anything if they can get elected...that is, until they get caught.
So what? She is a noble Govenor for visiting Alaskan troops anywhere over there! The Democrats sat on their hands while our men and woman had their lives on the line. Shame on the Democrats!
This McCain Campaign is about lies and distortions, if elected will he and She be believable? I hardly think so.
Given that everything can and will be checked, to lie about your resume is juvenile at best, but the Republicans will swear that it was an error, not a purpose driven lie. The voters will have to be the judge of that!
Clueless Palin!..? Who would have guessed...NOT!
The Obama campaign - which has increasingly accused the McCain campaign of deliberately lying in ads and on the stump - was quick to highlight that story, along with a news report that explored whether the McCain campaign has been sending out wildly inflated crowd estimates.
The McCain team has twice pointed to law enforcement as the source for those estimates - but the same officials denied to Bloomberg News that they had provided the numbers cited by the Republican nominee's campaign.
What is wrong with the MCcain campaign? LIES,LIES, And MORE LIES.
My flight transit through Paris, London and I have been to Cancun in Mexico for vacation. I have visited Paris and London and Mexico. I have foreign exp. to be US vp, even US president. Oh, I forget to mention, Russia is close to my state, Alaska. You can even see Russia direcly from Alaska. What else do folks want?
More half-truths and spin from Palin and her camp. This woman is strictly about image not substance.
BTW, she's not taking war with Russia off the table
Why don't you post my comments? They are perfectly respectful. Is this China???
You know it's not that Palin/McCain and the Republicans are on the wrong side of every major policy; what really shows me that the Republicans, Palin and McCain has absence of integrity, leadership, lack of respect and loyalty to the American public is the way they presented her to us on a shiny platter of half-truths and lies. McCain is 72 years old and still doesn't know the difference between truth and lies...that's a Maverick?
Next the gov will be saying she dated Sgt. Preston of the yukon!
SO what does this have to do with it? It's not like OBAMA is a world traveler and a expert in foreighn affairs either. What he knows is what he learned from his Muslim Father.
Has this bimbo told the truth about anything?
Not surprising since many of her claims of her "experience" are quite questionable with regard to the position she is expecting us to approve her for. One only has to read the Alaskan news sources to find out just who she is. And according to what I have read, she certainly doesn't deserve to be VP of this country.
The media is making up lies about Palin.
Why would she have ever gone there? Obama only went in the past couple of months to play backetball as a vote getting scheme.
I can't believe Barack is slimeballing McCain Palin in the middle of the tragedy in Galveston...pathetic.
Disgusting woman. i do have higher faith in America to vote the right team in than what the polls recently showed. Obama clearly has his faults as well and I'm not a Democrat, but he is clearly a better choice.
Lies, lies, lies... that's all McCain and Palin are experienced in! If somehow American's are stupid enough to be tricked again... like we were in the last 2 elections... I don't think I want to be here anymore. I am seriously losing faith in my fellow countrymen, and if by some miraculous stroke, Obama doesn't win, I believe America will have reached a point of n return.
Obama/Biden 08'
The ONLY change I believe in!
September 13th, 2008 8:00 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
The lies, and half truths, just keep on coming. Let's give Sarah an education from our founding father's quotes, and she can translate it into "tongues" for the members of her congregation.
"A lighthouse is more useful than a church"
Benjamin Franklin
"This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it"
John Adams
For true Christians, this is an easy vote. Separate one's patriotism from one's religion, cast out the lies of the Republican party that has left the country's poor more hurting than ever, and the rich even richer than before, and do what's truly GOOD. One party represents the money changers in the temple, and the other party represents he who cast the money changers out of the temple. It's that simple.
The press spent months chastising Barack Obama for attending Holy Trinity. So I'm wondering why it is not making a big deal out of the fact that Palin attends a church that believes homosexuals can be converted to its idea of normalcy through prayer. Why is this issue off the table so to speak?
Their campaign is full of lies...lies....lies...lies....and more lies...
The GOP ticket is becoming more and more of a joke.. "Country First" my foot.. John Mccain certainly was not thinking country first when he chose Dick Cheney in heels as his running mate..
So what is the point of this article. Another attempt by CNN to smear Palin and push their favorite Obama? BTW CNN I have a revised name for Campbell Brown's new show "All Bias, All Bull." She has been in the tank for Obama since the beginning of the primaries. Go ahead CNN moderate this comment out of existence.
Palin never went to Ireland, either.
What has she said, then, that is not a lie?
Scary.
Is this really an important issue? She went to Kuwait and visited with the Alaskan troops as a Govenor of her state and showed her support. And how many times has Obama been to Iraq minus a few plane loads of media elite to lay the red carpet down and gush at every word?
Sarah Palin is a hero to the modern American working mom and the liberals need to get used to it. Obama stating that McCain is running the "Sleaziest campaign in history" is about as laughable as his allegience of naughty-mouthed campaign bloggers running their mouths off about Sarah Palin's family. Now THAT is sleazy.
Palin told ABC News that this was "the trip of a lifetime."
Actually, I would call it "the lie of a lifetime."
John McCain made possibly the most irresponsible choice for a Vice Presidential nominee in U.S. history. He took a big risk, made a big gamble with the future of our nation, and it's a bet he's lost.
I'm not gambling with our future. I'm voting for Obama-Biden.
Why is it that Sarah Palin has the highest approval rating of any governor in the United States? 80%.
You know, Bill Clinton got his experience as Governor of Arkansas. But he managed a state and a budget that was only 1/10th the size of Alaska's. Is Sarah being treated unfairly just because she is a woman?
I wonder what else Palin has embellished. As much as I am thrilled to see a woman as a VP pick, I cannot support a woman who is a "Good Ole Boy" wannabe!!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 and '12
When the Palin's dust finally clears, what will we find? A sham of epic proportion.
I forgot. Apparently McCain has been overstating the size of crowds coming to his rallies.
And–I just read about McCain's first wife, who he dumped, for Cindy, after she was maimed in a car accident. She mothered three children for him and waited for him to return from Vietnam. And he dumped her for a woman who was 20 years younger.
GoP. Party of family values, indeed.
Chrsitians everywhere ought to be dismayed by this crowd.
I do not believe a word McCain or Palin have to say. Once you lie you cannot be trusted. McCain has taken Obama's words and turned them around to suit his needs making them into lies.
Someone who said that he puts his Country before his political ambitions, would not LIE over and over. He would state where he stands on issues and be on with it! Obama has TRIED OVER AND OVER to stick with running a campaign over issues, BUT McCain won't stop the lies and now Obama MUST FIGHT BACK!
No surprise there! More of what the electorate is used to, LIES.
Lots of little lies and a couple big ones are starting to map outa disturbing pattern. This woman is simply not honest at her core. For a supposedly devout follower the hypocrisy is VERY disturbing.
IM SO SHOCKED!!! THE REPUBLICANS ARE LYING? NO WAY!!!!
IM JUST GLAD THE MEDIA IS FINALLY STARTING TO CALL THEM ON ALL OF THEIR B.S. SERIOUSLY, ABOUT 85% OF WHAT MCCAIN/ PALIN SAY IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE PEOPLE WE WANT RUNNING THIS COUNTRY?
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN/PALIN!!!!!
I am completely baffled by McCain. I guess the "Straight Talk Express" has jumped the track and he now only provides half truths, lies and fairy tales in hopes of riding Palin's skirt to the White House.
I am asking if there is anything McCain won't lie about. He's WORSE than Bush.
And the lies continue....
Sarah Palin is NOT VP material!
OBAMA – BIDEN 2008
As an independant voter, I'm curious, why is that CNN and other networks refer to Sen.McCain, Sen.Biden and Gov.Palin by their official titles but when speaking of Sen.Barack Obama, he's only referred to as Barack? He's a Senator of the United States and should be given the respect he's earned. While I was taken by Sarah Palin like the rest of the country, I do believe ABC undoubtedly proved to me that she is not ready to be Commander and Chief of this country and the Democratic ticket has swayed my vote.
SHE IS SAYING! Barack OBama is a fraud. Every Black- African. So called American know he a Liar. None American.. But they have believed this Idiot. Too late now. So they lie as big he he does...
He don't have no feeling for Toto's like I do.. Your all Garbage None American. None African. Just Idiot who believe their Mesia has arrived...
COME ON SARAH...
SARAH IN THE BIBLE TOLD THE TRUTH....
This woman is the most controversial VP nominee in history.
Come ooon, are we surprised! Anything the Republcian party can do to try to gain a vote! PALIN is a liar and not qualified to be VP. That is all there is to it. She opposes EARMARKS... yet she hired lobbyists to get earmarks years prior. She opposes any type of abortion including if a child is raped through incest or otherwise. What about the gray areas? Well in her eyes, there is none and she will remain the dictator! She has it well planned that she is going to be President WITHOUT any of her own campaignin or hardships to get to the top.
Don't CRY REPUBLICANS when the USA is doomed to the bitter end, especially when John McCain turns to a beauty queen to base his decisions on. It is obvious who is running that office and who is wearing the pants. It sure isn't McCain!
Never NEVER would I want her to be in office!
OBAMA/Biden 2008!!
I used to watch CNN regularly but that has all changed.You're no longer a News station but an extended advertisment for Barack Obama and company.
Lies, Lies, Lies!
Yet more lies and deception by the McCain campaign uncovered; I'm not surprised.
More lies... lies lies lies...
Jay
Is there anything about her that is real?
I am just astonished and amazed as to what this campaign is evolving into. Although I am a firm Obama supporter, if I was unsure about him and wanted to know about the McCain/Palin ticket, I would be out of luck. I don't understand how we as American voters cannot be allowed to know fully about a candidate that would be the co-leader of this country. And are we to expect that everytime someone says a cross word about her that a memo will come out shouting unfairness. I am truly very disappointed in the campaign process and feel that we the voters are not being respected like we should be. It is ultimately about us, not the candidates.
Ever since earth angel came down the havens of alaska ,all she does is tell lies the and the public buying it ....that sarah pagon for you.
What else hasn't this woman done??? Pleeeeeze will somebody tell this woman she is not qualified to be VP. Also, somebody tell the entire Republican party that should McCain be elected and God forbid drop dead and she becomes President, we are in for really big trouble. She is no Hillary Clinton.
Ahh, what's one more lie? After all, if you believe anything that comes out of a Republican politicians mouth....well, I guess that makes you part of the problem with this country.
I guess the Repubs are too scared to lie now as too many of their lies have bee uncovered! GOOD JOB CNN!
And I think Palin should refuel but this time in Washington not Ireland and I think her destination should be ALASKA and not for a visit but for permanent residency! And I think she should take McCain with her as Liars like company! My town doesn't take to blantant Liers, women who mock and belittle community workers or mothers that put fame, glory, and authority seeking positions before their children. And we especially have no time for women trying to pretend they know something about running a country but can't even answer the simple questions regarding their Nation!
It bothers me that the evangelicals seem to like McCain/Palin. I keep hearing that they are in step with their (evangelical) values. How can this be when so much of their campaign is lies? Are lies part of the christian values? I am a christian and I do not think so. Why would we want another term of leaders we can't trust to tell us the truth.
The premise of Roland Martin is that anyone who votes against Obama is a racist. I am a hillary supporter, and I am voting against him beause of his sexist treatment of Hillary Clinton.
Huuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm, it was just a matter of time.All lies will eventuelly come about Palin.
Wow, I guess the McCain-Palin felt that this was the best time to release this information because the nation is concerned about Ike and the residents of Texas.
For those that believe in the McCain-Palin ticket, this interesting bit of news does not matter.
McCain/Palin's whole campaign is a joke.This doesn't surprise me after the way he got caught on "The View" .All these lies just keep getting revealed one by one.Women were not impressed with McCain.
If they lie about such simple things, they definitely cannot be trusted. The media should collectively refuse to cover the Mccain/palin campaign untill they start being honest. THEY ARE LIARS AND HAVE NO HONOR OR INTEGRITY.
You mean they lied?! Say it isn't so! McCain was a POW!
Getting pretty sick of lies and dramatic false indignities. My six year old daughter is more honest and acts more grown up than both of them.
It appears to me that McCain has picked a liar for VP. lol What was he thinking. That interview last night was a joke. I think Biden is going to have a field day with her during their debate. She has know business representing our country as a VP. lol
LIAR and people fall for her sick lies....disgusting and stupid
Omg, what else is this woman and the McCain campaign lying about? This is truly ridiculous. I hope the American public start opening their eyes to McCain/Plain. We do not and cannot afford 4 more years of this distasteful tactics. Please America Wake Up!!!
I am beginning to see a patern here. Wow, her introduction to the American people is filled with lies, and she continues to lie.
Exactly what kind of Christian is she? I did not realize Christians lie so easily is that usually true?
And for the family thing, is that really the example you want to teach your children, too lie to win?
We here from the far-right about morals, values, and ethics and yet there seems to be a double standart here.
Wow...
Good Lord if Obama had not canceled his Saturday Night Live appearance. Grumpy Grampa McBush would have fallen down and not been able to get up. He would have held the emergency button on his life alert and screamed about how he delayed the GOP convention for Gustav but Obama went to SNL ! Now Pick me up !
How can Gov. Palin just lie and inflate her record without being called out. All of the other canidates have been called out. McCain's crew is trying to make her untouchable and the media is going along with it. Is somebody getting paid off? I smell a rat!
Finally CNN, you do your job.
Keep reporting the facts on this woman. She lied to the American people and this is who you want to be VP?
No way, no how and for darn sure, NO MC-CAIN/PALIN
Huuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm, it was just a matter of time.All lies will eventuelly come out about Palin.
Obama Biden08-12
Give me a break – are we really dickering over whether she actually walked a few extra feet into Iraq? How many times had Obama been to Iraq before the primaries? Zero? How many times had he been to even Kuwait? Zero? Let's see – zero times zero equals . . . zero foreign policy experience.
Face it – Palin's AT LEAST as qualified as Obama is on foreign policy. The fact that the Obamalist Media is frantically screaming over a bogus border dispute only indicates that to me that the arrogant Obama political machine is actually starting to get worried about being behind in the polls.
But you know, I'm ready for the MSM to start heaping up on the Republicans. They do it every election. The difference, though, is that THESE days, the liberals aren't in total control of the national narrative. Poor liberals! Cable TV and the internet have interfered with their national stranglehold on message. Too bad – I guess the rest of us get to form our own opinions just like grownups!
No need to even comment here, but I will. If people at this point don't see the McCain/Palin ticket for what they are, they are just beyond reach. First the earmark spending, then the profit from the jet, then the bridge to no where, then the lies about Obama, and now this. They are desperate for a win and McCain, originally an honorable man, has sunk to such a low level it is sad.
What do you expect from a political team built on a cornerstone of lies, a foundation of deceit, and walls of fallacy?
But America gets what it votes for – vote wisely.
McCain is really hurting his credibility , and showing the American People that he is quickly becoming a Man without Honor. He is clearly showing he is more like Bush then anyone would have beleived.
If McCain can not be trusted in the Campaign , he surely can't be trusted to lead this Country.
WAKE UP AMERICA
Why exactly is a proven liar the right selection for the GOP's VP pick?
Oh that's right....they think we're stupid.
Liberal Media My Petunia!!!!
WOW! THE TRUTH KEEPS POPPING UP.
John McCaine
I am very disappointed in you. What can we believe about your campaign. You have went from being respected to just.. disappointing.
I can't believe the lies that keep rolling. I thought that you love AMerica. I mean no disrespect to Palin, but she is simply not ready. Why would you put the country you say you put first, by placing somebody on the ticket that you thought could help you win.
There were other more experienced women ( the game changer you needed) that could have gotten you the results you needed, as well as a few Republican men.
You have not put your country first.
We have have spent the last 8 years being lied to, Now we are being lied to again.
Thanks but no thanks.
Experience is cool and all, but really none of the four of them have experience being president. They have their own areas of expertiece, but being president is really a learn as you go job. Every day is a new challenge, in an ever changing world. You have to be calm, cool and collected, know your facts, think through problems, seek advice from experts, and then make rational well thought out decisions. As President you don't always have to do what's popular, if it is the right thing to do, but you should also make every attempt to listen to the people, and be willing to modify your approach so it incorporates the will of the people. First and foremost you need to be honest and trustworthy, whether you are dealing with a foreign ruler or the average joe or jill American. If your word is not your bond, what is the point, other countries wont trust you, and neither will your people. Most importantly you must remain calm, even in the face of stupidity and make rational, thoughtful judgements, never flying of the cuff, as the results may not only affect every American, but every person on the planet. Let's face it, if this is the Criteria we measure a good President, then Sarah Palin fails miserably. Sure she seems like a nice enough person, but she obviously does not know her facts, whether it's interational relations, the environment, or even the economy. She has already gotten caught in quite a few lies, and she is fairly hostile in interviews (under pressure). While McCain has a fairly good knowledge base, he also has a bad habit of lying, as is very quick to get hostile, and makes a lot of off the cuff descisions, like hiring Sarah Palin. Its like when everybody plays by the rules, and waits their turn in the lunch line, only to have Mrs, Palin budge her way into the line at the last minute. She simply has not paid her dues, she has not earned her spot. Again if the criteria is knows your issues, honesty, calm under pressure, and well thought out descisions, then Biden would make a good President, and Obama would make an excellenct president! You can argue experience till your blue in the face, but if your president can not be trusted, is easily angered, and makes off the cuff desisions, then what is the point!
Come on Dems, lighten up. Palin went to the Iraq border with the intent to go into Iraq. Then her group recieved reports of Bosnian Snipers and Wolves in the area so they turned back.
Pastor Rick Warren asked McCain about "evil" in the world. Well, here it is, Pastor, in two prominent dangerously devious human forms!
seriously. is there anything the mccain campaign isn't lying about?
You mean she lied again?.....how shocking. Palin and that dumb inbreed husband of hers are simple Jerry Springer trailer trash.
Once again it show that the republicans are a bunch of lairs and can't be trusted to tell the whole truth. They can slide the mud, and I hope the American people will someday wake-up and realize that both George Bush and Chenny have been cloned, McCain being Bush and Sarah, getting ready to hunt attorneys, being Chenny.
Are you surprsied?!
Not surprised ,almost everything that the Republicans have said has been distorted in some fashion look at factcheck.org
NO WAY
NO HOW
NO SARAH PALIN
NO JOHN MCCAINE
NO "STRAIGHT LIES EXPRESS"
I AM JOHN MCCAINE AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
McCain and Palin are freaking LIARS!!! PLEASE AMERICA DON'T FALL FOR THE "DOUBLE TALK EXPRESS". Didn't we learn our lesson from elected someone whom we ...CAN'T TRUST!!! Wow...This is pathetic!
obama only went to iraq for a photo op, and didn't even visit the troops. gov. palin has more experience than obama, and he is at the top of the ticket. the media is trying to destroy her, and make her look unqualified, but it isn't working. they destroyed hillary, and americans are still seething over that. it won't work this time!
It's Saturday and they think we (the people) won't notice this story...We know CNN wan't cover it after today.
Look !!! Stop trying to put lipstick on a pig it is what it is. We will be the biggest laughing stock in the world if Sarah Palin makes it to the White House.
Obama/Biden 2008/2012
Why are we suprised! everything about this lady is phony
So CNN, what is Palin's unprecidented move, to tell the truth about her acceptig Pork Barrel earmark money? Or did you post the sensational Palin headline before you were finished writing the sensational Palin story
Yesterday McBush griped that Obama did not support military weapons development. In truth it was McWar who is on record last July, who said the whole Pentagon Military Development Program should be scrapped. Senile or blatant Liar ? You decide.
Is there nothing this woman won't lie or stretch the truth about?
It's sad that I, not even a college graduate yet, have more foreign policy experience than the Republican vice presidential nominee.
Are McPalin are there any more retractions i.e. bridge nowhere and the extent of your executive experience.
another lie by the by the McCain campaign.
If this was Obama flip-flopping of where he had been! People would say this is why we are not comfortable with him!
But if it is Palin then hey it's not her fault that she did not set the record straight, its "law enforcement that is the source for those estimates" The McCain campaign are pretty sure what Obama's records are or lack thereof but they sure get amnesia when it comes to Palin:- Bridge to Nowhere supported then rejected BUT kept the money, asked that brother in-law be fired, but somehow that is also part of the amnesia.
How sad that McCain had to pick a candidate with a uterus to feel that he somehow can distract from his own poor record. This intemperate little Mussolini has no new ideas, and he picked Palin because, in his ignorance, he believed woman would vote for her. How disrespectful to think that women don't look at the issues, but rather at gender only. The republicans are a party of old ideas, nothing fresh or new. And because of this dearth of anything intelligent they resort to lies and innuendos against their opponents. This may have worked in 2000 and 2004, but its obvious the american people have woken up to this bad act. I suggest McCain/Palin drop out of the race and that we declare Obama/Biden the winners by proclamation.
Just another stop on the BS Express!!!
Drip, Drip, Drip. Lie here, lie there, and lie all the time.
Dear Gov Palin – the more I listen to you the more I realize that you are just like the rest of the Repubs – LIE LIE LIE – you lie so much that you are really starting to believe – here is some truth for you I am sure that McSame is sorry that he picked you.
PEOPLE PLEASE SEE THAT THIS PALIN PICK WAS A POLITICAL MOVE ON MCCAIN'S BEHALF. THEY KEEP LYING. YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING WHEN YOU LIE SO MUCH YOU START TO BELIEVE YOUR OWN LIES.
Did you see this poser fumble her way through her interview. That is after two weeks of media blackout coaching! Wake up America, this bimbo could be posing her way into the oval office!
LIES..... We spend our time being interested in Politics on constantly reading the LIES Republicans has to FIX after they're proven wrong.
LIES LIES LIES......Put an END TO THIS...
PALIN is PATHETIC!
What on earth is the matter with these people? The McCain campaign couldn't tell the truth even if it benefited them. They can't help but to lie, it is sad... Obama/Biden 08
This is not a surprise to me. The Mccain campaign is a joke. Mavericks, Reformers, and Change agents. Yeah, right. They can't tell the truth during the campaign, how are we supposed to believe they would fight for us and change Washington. It seems as though Palin/Mccain is the ones who need to be changed.
Go Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!
At least she visited the wounded troops...that more than you can say for Nobama!!!
world traveled yeah right! send this to fox
The ticket of lies, not reform.
Another lie. Another padded resume. I hope the press holds McCain's and Palin's feet to the fire.
Whoa.!!!!!!!!!!!!..ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!..How many more lies from this campaign..She cannot be VP of the United Staes with lies like this..!!!!!!!..Everyone must know this!!!!!!!!
Seriously! Leave this woman alone already!
Lies and deceit as usaul. Nothing new here.
Please stop gobbling up news time on Sarah cause we just about had enough of her. She's just like a Miss Universe contestant who's been tutored and prepped to answer questions. Please Please stop concentrating on her and her poor abilities and great inabilities.
I am quite sure there is a lot more to come out about Palin
This is just the tip of the Iceberg.
Mcbush is a fool anyone with an iota of knowledge knows she is underquqlified.
Talk about boosting your resume. I'm beginning to think she's really delusional. How could you not keep up with what's true or not and they're not even in the White House yet? No with my vote!
Okay, she did not need to visit the entire troop at this time. She was a governor for the state of Alaska. She visited the Alaskan troops. She had more than fullfilled her duty as a governor.
Being part of a presidential ticket was not even on her mind at this point in time.
yeah but she does stare at an uninhabited area of russia regularly. i feel som much safer. NOT!!!
Watching the Interviews, I couldn't believe that she actually feels she's READY TO BE PRESIDENT!!!
That alone tells us how stupid she must be, how smug and cocky and arrogant... what an ego! As for her words, yes... Gibson referred to them as a bilzzard of words... She talked in circles, empty circles...
She's simply too stupid to realize how far over her head she is... it's just unbelievable!
Pru in Tigard
Did they actually say that she visited the troops in Iraq? This is just junk news. It is high time that the media gets on with the issues that plague or nation and stop all this drama. Let us make up are own minds, I like cnn. but it's definitely, one sided.
The whole McCain campaign is a joke!
Horrible! This McCain-Palin ticket is full of lies. We can't trust them, period.
I'm not surprised at all. I doubt that anyone keeping track of the lies, smears, and distortion the McCain-Palin campaign have been constantly giving to the american people is surprised either.
The McCain campaign seems to have a new motto: LIE.
I am suprised by the lies McCain camp is dishing out to the American people.
I will be disappointed if American are gullible to these liars and elect these liars (McCain/palin) ticket into the white house.
'Tayo
wow. this woman's resume gets thinner and thinner as her so called "accomplishments" are repeatedly discredited. first the bridge to nowhere distortion of facts, no this? what's next?
Is there anything she and McMaverick haven't lied about? Ummmm, that would be no.
So basically, she hasn't had any experience with foreign policy, and has lied to us on all of it. Typical Republican........no maverick, and the only change to Washington she will bring, is an amendment that forbids freedom.
This is the first act of McCain. There should not be a second act.
The more we learn about her, the more lies we find!!!! Goodbye Palin- go back to Alaska- you are not fit to be VP! go back to being a hockey mom!
OBAMA/BIDEN
Oh great, another thing this McCain/Palin camp is lying about.
If we can't trust McPain to run a clean & HONEST campaign...how can we trust them to run our great country?! Sure, he served our country for years...but somewhere along the line ol' John lost his integrity.
Active Duty USAF
15.5 years
Proudly Donated To Sen Barack Obama & Can't Wait To Vote For Him!
Wow, if vacations in Mexico and Canada qualifies you as an expert in foreign relations and to be vice president and president then my family should be running the country. Heck, my father in law can be UN Secretary. What a joke is the McCain/Palin ticket. It is an insult to me
Just more lies, and really want to vote for this ticket.
Just more lies, and people really want to vote for this ticket.
What next ? Are we sure this LADY is the Governor of ALASKA ! ! !
More lies from McCain.
So. If we accept lies as the basis for our vote, then do we even understand the common definition of democracy? I prefer to be ruled by a truth-seeking, people-oriented person who understands my daily needs– not just an image in a mirror.
This woman is NUTS and shows just how desperate McGimmick really is.
How Pathetic!
She says, "I did not blink...I would not blink..." I have always thought that stance described a poker player who is bluffing, which is the impression I got of her after watching her interview with Charlie Gibson.
Another lie. America please wake up. She is bad for America. THe Republicans should not be allowed to get away with this.
Why are we focusing so much attention on the Vice Presidents experience level. How about Obama's experience? Running a campaign is not experience. David Duke used the same line when he was running for Governor of Louisiana. The only thing that make Obama not worthy is his race.
The McCain campaign said Gov. Palin opposed the bridge to nowhere, but now we know she supported it," said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor in a statement. "They said she didn't seek earmarks, but now we know she hired a lobbyist to get millions in pork for her town and her state. They said she visited Iraq, but today we learned that she only stopped at the border.
Americans are starting to wonder, is there anything the McCain campaign isn't lying about?"
Get rid of these two McBumbs. Vote for Obama
I'm not surprised. Quite frankly I find the whole McCain-Palin campaign to be disgusting, dispecible and shameless. They are absolutely unworthy of any respect.
It is a shame that they lie about EVERYTHING!!
IN AMERICA IMAGE IS EVERYTHING. I would not be surprised, if The "Beauty and the Beast" wins this election and leads us to Armageddon.
Please keep a close eye on these people. They are counting on the American people to swallow the lies they continue to dish out. People still think we attacked Iraq because of 9/11 for crying-out-loud. The media needs to take it upon themselves to educate the poeple about the TRUTH. The frustration I feel when I hear people parrot these lies is unbearable. Don't let them scare you with that 'liberal media' tag. If Republicans are angry about the truth, too bad.
Between now and Nov, and even w/o the need for Obama to pull out the big guns, the McPalin ticket is going to funk up something stinky.
Mark my words........"We ain't seen or heard nothing yet." Bombs are going to start dropping all around Sarah so much so that John McCain's gonna start having flashbacks. I'm not attempting to be a jokester here, or make sport of his military experience. Nope, I'm using the extreme to paint the picture that we're all going to witness in the coming weeks via the surprise after surprise of just who Palin truly is.
I actually feel empathy for McCain because I think-believe he's suffering from "look at me ma, I'm on top of the world!" He's finally got that one shot, and a last shot to prove to his dead father & grandfather that I'm better than an Admiral, I'm President, and to that end he's ironically play fast and lose with his honor. He's not the John McCain I voted for in 2000 by any stretch of the imagination.
That guy had principals and honour, and honesty. He owned what he said, and he said what he meant, and he apologised if he got it wrong instead of deflecting it away onto someone else. He has sold his sole for this shot, and I'm not so sure his legacy will escape being seriously beatup because of what I know is coming.
I thank God that the press is finally doing its job! If they had not been timid on the iraq info the nation got from the whitehouse maybe we would not be in a war.
I appreciate them catching Hillary in a lie (snipergate) and now catching Palin in lies (trooper, and visit gate, and later on people will see Bristols baby is being claimed by a black guy). I don't appreciate the JWright-gate as it was overdone, but rezco was appropriate. I am at the point I don't care if the candidate is green, if the press does their job well we can all rest we have made good decisions on picking a president for this great nation.
This is a no-issue.
Obama recently took a 10-day World-tour to add to his credentials all Foreign Policy experience, so can Palin.
What Democrats are not talking about is the problem that they have with a small-town-American elected for VP.
C'mon Mr Obama, give chance to small-town-American, not all are BITTER.
expose her lies for what they are...
Be interesting to see how many bald face lies these two can pack into the campaign. Because they are off like a greyhound out of the box at the moment.
What!! more lies
Feed me Crap! I eat Crap.. Read my lips. I think we lost our way... You were supposed to be on our side...
I realize politicians can be misleading but there seems to be an abundance of lies and distractions from the McCain/Palin campaign. This would be funny if it were not such an important election. Obama/Biden may not be the perfect candidates but the thought of McCain/Palin leading the country is somewhat disturbing.
The Republicans want another shot at running the country but it's obvious they don't deserve it on the basis of the state of our economy, gas prices, unemployment, poor national education performance and the costly immoral war in Iraq.
I've heard some of Obama's proposed plans for the country but it seems like I did not hear or missed McCain's plans.
Bring of the debates.
God bless us all.
Is everything about this woman a lie?
Wow what more do people need to see this lady is not ready for the Vice presidency!! It's lie, after lie after lie with this woman! Please wake up Amreica and choose Leaders who are smart, have integrity and understand that issues are more important and we need resolutions now. I am so digusted and McCain and Palin should be ashamed,
Ha ha ha...the McCain campaign has resorted to telling us where Gov. Palin went on vacation to shore up her credentials? Boggles the mind.
Serious question: Of all the people John McCain had to choose from when picking his VP candidate, is Sarah Palin the most qualified?
Both answers scare me.
WHY DO THEY KEEP LYING...This is really getting on my nerves!!!
Hey CNN, why not report Palin's second big interview – Sean Hannity of Fox news. Sure to be hard hitting. Must see TV.
Just another lie Palin has to explain. Put the jet on E-bay – but did'nt sell there, sold it through a plane broker at a big loss to state, didn't really support the promotion of condom contraception – but supported it in at least three speaches, didn't suppor the bridge to nowhere – but ran commercials showcasing it during her run for Governor, doen't support pork barrel earmarks – but took them and asked for them as Mayor of Wasilla and as Governor. Yeah she's a Maverick – a Maverick Liar.
For all those bothered by the endless discussion four years ago of whether John Kerry actually ever went into Cambodia, I hope you are equally troubled by the nit-picky discussion of whether Sarah Palin was ever in Iraq or just on the Iraq-Kuwait border.
As someone with a loved one serving in Iraq, I find it utterly reprehensible that she would lie about going there for political gain.
It is PATHETIC that a person like John McCain who you will think claim love his country will LIE to get to the highest office. This is serious and questionable to we the electorates. This is the biggest challenge to an electorate that are extremely less informed.
In the History of United State, this is the first time an honorable P.O.W will degrade the office of the Presidency in order to occupy it.
What happen to the media that help George Bush to take us to the war we never thought was necessary.
We have seen this movie before..remember? that it is ok to lie and the media never hold no one to their feet. The people will be the one to lose again.
America..do not wake up, keep sleeping, your Govt. is with you, you will be fine with another liar to lead us so keep sleeping.
i knew from the beginning she was fake
The Repblicans bring out this twit and claim she is ready to be VP and Pres. This is a sham. This woman has more baggage than LAX.She is clearly not qualified for any position. White woman claim thay can relate to Sara because they see themsrlves when they see Sara. Most black women can't even afford to let their kids play hockey.They are falling for the invisible pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. McCain put her on the dock with a fishing pole to reel in all the woman sitting on the fence. They took the bait.Most women will vote for Palin only because she is a woman. Look at the issues ladies. The Republicans don't talk about the issues because thay don't have any answers.All they want to do is sling mud to blow blow smoke up your panties.
Sarah Palin is only "fools gold". Is this what the American public wants? Another four years of lies, deceptions, misquotes, etc. from our leaders. This only proves how little the Republican party and it's nominee cares about the American people and our future. Not only is McCain not about change or the future of our government. He doesn't respect his country to select a credible and honest running mate.
The foreign countries will have a field day with her. When people see that you are lost, they will take advantage of you. Our country will be taken. Get ready to speak russian or Chinese.
I don't know what to believe about Palin! Hope the truth comes out before election day. Please gives us the true story!
The mention of Iraq just the border, makes my blood boil. All soldier's those that died, those that come home with missing body parts, those that come home with broken hearts and minds of confusion. I recall the report on Walter Reed Hospital a filthy place of horrific conditions, this is where we bring our injured soldiers, we Americans..
D.Claire
Figures. How does this work. The more lies they tell, the more stupid people believe and they win?! I'm beginning to doubt her real name is Sarah.
OBAMA 08
Let's just get use to it.
Everything Palin says is a lie.
Let's also make sure that she does not enter our White House.
A very bad place to lie.
Wake up America
I hope that you got my last comment. It was pretty long and didn't show up in my browser after submitting it.
Quite interesting...No experience at all.
Sarah Palin is an insult to the sacrifices women have made to gain more acceptable gender equality. We still have much to do, By her own admission Palin benefited from Title IX. But what has she contributed to 'walking the walk'? Aligning herself with McCain is unbridled personal ambition that mocks those of us who work hard to survive on a level playing field. We don't hide behind retro hair, heavy make-up, a shrill voice, brazen winks, and pointed finger. We're confident that we understand issues. We don't need retro props. Nor does Obama need a retro prop. Biden is out, front and center, alone. McCain needs his retro prop because, well, McCain is retro. What a sad, sad situation.
OH! Great!!
Let us see that McShame and his company of LIERS are going to say for this report. It is disgusting to hear more and more about the President in heart beat away. Wake up America. It is time to ACT now!
Wow, such Morals Mizz Palin. But this does not surprise me in the least. This is a woman who thinks that sex is a sin, and semi-automatic weapons are wonderful to have in the home of every American family. Hummmm . . . sounds a little screwey to me.
I am so relieved that Obama has a strong lead in the electoral college polls. But, this election should not be this close. Hopefully people will watch the debates to help educate themselves before they vote. I am a white female that originally supported Hillary. I now support Obama, who shares the same exact values that Hillary does. I am doing my best in my small community to spread the word. Take your blinders off, and don't be fooled into voting for McCain. Seems that some of these bloggers have tunnel vision when it comes to McCain. They refuse to think outside the very small box they've confined themselves to. If you can't think outside the box, how are you ever going to "change" anything? McCain is also not thinking outside the box. He thinks that the economy is great, just like Bush does. Nothing will change if he is elected.
how can anyone vote for mcain or palin they are such a lier.
IF SHE WAS A PERSON OF COLOR WHETHER ASIAN-AMERICAN, HISPANIC, ARABIC, RUSSIAN-AMERICAN, NATIVE AMERICANS OR AFRICAN AMERICANS; WHITE AMERICA WOULD BE OUTRAGED AND THERE WOULD NOT BE EVEN A DOUBT ABOUT THE ELECTION. BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE SHE IS TREATED WITH KID GLOVES, PROTECTED AND EVEN IDOLIZED. JUST LIKE WHITE AMERICA HAS DONE FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS, THEY WILL AGAIN DESTROY THE U.S.
why can't they just tell the truth, see how can u trust her, PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP...................DON'T BE A FOOL, AND FALL FOR THIS
This is truly outrageous, why is the mccain camp allowed to blantantly lie about this woman and her experience when they know good and well she is not qualified to be vp.
This is the scariest thing I've ever seen, mccain is so desperate to win that he is potentially putting his country in danger. I, for one, do not want to see us go to war with Russia or anyone else for that matter. This whole campaign of mccain's is a total sham. I don't think he gives a damm about any of us
OF COUSE SHE DIDN'T!!!! NEVER ASUME WITH PALIN. IT IS BEST TO WAIT OUT WHATEVER SHE SAYS TO SEE WHAT THE REAL TRUTH IS.
MY 14 YEAR OLD SON HAS MORE FOREIGN TRAVEL UNDER HIS BELT THAN PALIN!!
I AM SO GLAD SHE IS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. WE'LL SEE HOW QUICKLY SHE FALLS APART NOW, THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR HER. SHE WAS LAST WEEKS CELEBRITY,.
IT'S TIME FOR THE OBAMA CAMP TO PUT THE SCREWS TO THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET. EXPOSE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE, CHEAPSHOT LIARS.
I have watched and read for several days about Governor Palin. When will the media tell the truth. This person is not ready to be vice president and has lied (there I said it) about almost everything in her resume. It is time that the media took responsiblity for making sure the American voter knows the truth and just not some made up story by a political party. Please tell the facts and stop all the side stories that have nothing to do with the platform and policy of the parties. One only has to look at both of the polictical parties platform and know that Senator McCain and Governor Palin, are not telling the truth about how they would governor this nation.
Lies, lies and more lies. ENOUGH.
Apparently "John Bush" and "D.C." Palin really are running for a third term.
Obama sends his "wolves" into Alaska, and this is the best he could come up with. Now lets watch him deny that he had anything to do with this coming out.
she Lies about everything, send her back to alaska!
Not ready for Capital dog catcher position.
She is a liar and so is her boss, McShame.
If voters can't see that this lady is a Trojan horse created by the McCain campaign that contains nothing but problems and is on almost every account a clear fraud..... then we are all in trouble, McCain-Palin are RNC cue card readers not reformers
McCain and Palin are well suited to run together, they are both liars. Truth must be an inconvenience for them. Palin and the McCain campaign claimed Gov. Palin had visited Iraq. When the Boston Globe disproved this claim...the McCain spokesman she never actually set foot in Iraq. McCain said Palin is the most knowledgeable person about energy in the country. There is nothing in her education, experience that would indicate she has nothing more than a very superficial knowledge about oil and gas. Ask her what the UNOCAL gas plants on the Kenai peninsula are producing. She won't know (answer: anhydrous ammonia and urea). Ask her the name of the vessel that transports the NH3 to the CONUS. She won't know. (answer: M/V Cornucopia). Sarah Palin is not exactly an energy expert. Her husband, Todd, sits on meetings in the Governor's office and lobbies on behalf of energy companies. The question that Palin's staffers regularly ask themselves is, "what would Todd think?". Is this the qualified candidate that has the experience to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency? No way, no how!
It is funny. Now the truth is beginning to sip out. It does not seem like there is any truth to her resume so far. I am waiting to see what else is false.
How many lies are they going to tell. I know this is the political season and everyone stretches here and there but is her name really Sarah Palin. I mean what is going to come out next. This is getting ridiculous.
Here is another LIE – come on CNN! Why are you letting them get away with all these LIES. They are laughing in American's faces, or maybe so clueless they don't know the difference between the truth and a lie. It is so upsetting.
Energetically Wrong
September 12, 2008
Palin says Alaska supplies 20 percent of U.S. energy. Not true. Not even close.
Palin claims Alaska "produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy." That's not true.
Alaska did produce 14 percent of all the oil from U.S. wells last year, but that's a far cry from all the "energy" produced in the U.S.
Alaska's share of domestic energy production was 3.5 percent, according to the official figures kept by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
And if by "supply" Palin meant all the energy consumed in the U.S., and not just produced here, then Alaska's production accounted for only 2.4 percent.
Hummmmmm
Another lie? Buyer beware. I think the first thing either winning candidate should do is institute a better education system (e.g. civics courses), because we are so dumb and so entrenched on popularity and good looks that we let one of the candidates make a dumb choice and pick a rabbit out of his hat as a running mate, and if he wins (and he very well may), then we've got a wacko liar as our president.
Eduction in 08'
Are you kidding me? Is this truly the quality of the background searches we can expect in a McCain administration? Or is it abundantly clear now that the GOP politicos and NOT McCain are running this campaign ... and thus will likely have their hands all over the staffing of the White House should they get the opportunity.
This is like me telling my friends that I once visited Utah because I had a layover at the Salt Lake City Airport on the way to California. How gullible do they think we are?... Oh yea, they think we are plenty gullible and will be easily distracted by tomorrow's new "controversy" they will concoct to take our attention away from the lies and distortions they are putting out into the press about this woman. Shame, Shame, Shame.
As a former Hillary supporter, I have seriously considered McCain as my alternative. All that campaign has done, however, is to say they are NOT interested in my vote. Where does that leave me? Back with Obama? Perhaps yes... time will tell. For now, I will remain undecided but deeply concerned about this.
I have to call her integrity into question in this, especially given her son's deployment. What kind of example does this set? What sort of precedent?
Attempting to boost her own credentials in an altogether fraudulent way that spits in the face of Servicepeople is a tremendous sleight to each and every one of them. And to the people in this country, too.
Consider your votes, people. If you're willing to forgive a not-so-minor lie like this, what more would you let Governor Palin get away with?
Thank God for fact checkers.
Palin is scary and full of BS.
When Charlie Gibson asked her about the Bush doctrine, she smiled and tried to answer in some kind of jibber jabber....if she had any smarts of her own, she would have down what most people would have asked," Please refresh me on the Bush Doctrine?" No....she came back with some mission for our country answer? If I was interviewing her for a job at my company, if she did not know the answer or what my question was...I would hope this new hire would ask? I would end the interview and thank her for her time. Bye Bye to Palin and McCain
And this is important why?
The only reason McCain picked her is cause she is WOMAN!!! period!
How many times do you need a reminder of this people??? She met him once before he selected her as VP. She was never properly veted. She got this not because she was qualified. Come'n people McCain is trying to take advantage of disapointed DNC women. Is American woman that stupid and ignorant if they support McCain and Palin's ticket because just SHE is a WOMAN???
YES!
Why? Because the only thing they have incommon is gender. She stand against everything the women I know stand for. So if they vote for her it would be 1) because she is a women or 2) because he is black.
Black?? I guess half black but who cares about his mother's side and he doesn't even know his father as a son should know his father, he look black there for he is black right???
McCain is going to win by getting all the ignorant vote and all those ignorant voters will say, "What was I thinking?" not only for the next 4 years but for the rest of their life.
God bless the good, the bad and the ignorant.
Oh, 'Country MY AS.. FIRST" hahha my people are funny! I'm glad I married a canadian girl and moved to Canada!
Surprise surprise, more lies from the Republican party. When will some Americans learn that the Republican party is the ones that got them into this mess and will only make things worse if re-elected.
This is very interesting, McCain put out an ad that condems Obama for calling Palin a pig, and defended it when asked. Now either he thinks we're stupid, he's lying, or he's stupid. Now which of these qualities do you want in a President.
So long before she became a VP candidate, she may or may not have changed her itinerary for a trip which may or may not have included Iraq. Did she by any chance have a tuna sandwich in the past six months? What other juicy details can you report about Palin in the hopes that somehow they are Significant Details which might prove to be newsworthy someday? It's the issues, stupid.
It's getting very interesting now...half-truths mixed with outright lies..Goodness...What Next? Stay tuned.......
...i was gonna vist the troops in AyRaq but Malaki said " thanks but no thanks..."
Why is CNN not reporting on the findings of the New York Times, about Ms Palin. It's on the first page, headlined:
"Once Elected, Palin Hired Friends and Lashed Foes"
By JO BECKER, PETER S. GOODMAN AND MICHAEL POWELL
LIAR PALIN
GOVERNOR LIAR PALIN OF ALASKA.
More lies when what can you believe from the mccain camps. They are all liars. NO Policies, No nothing but lies.
Just another lie to add to her extensive list of lies that seem to turn up every time she opens her mouth about anything. The dumb people of America don't care anyway.
Sarah Palin has certainly sparked some energy in the Republican campaign.
The Palin-Biden debate will be the most watched event of the year.
If Obama had chosen Hillary, his campaign would have beat McCain to the punch!
I wonder the same thing.
Yet another example of the bogus distortions and white lies told to he American people by an increasingly desperate McCain campaign. Senator McCain, the "Half Truth" express is now boarding.
Somebody forgot to tell the American people that, lately a few south-American countries do not want any American diplomats in their countries because the USA oppose the policies of president Evo Morales who wants to nationalize OIL and GAS in Bolivia to redistribute it to the people.Apparently,the ruling elite that profits from these resources with the help of American companies is trying to pressure the president to drop these reforms trough diplomatic influence......
The world need a better leader,one that would really solve problems,instead of WAR MONGERING.....
How is she going to weasel out of the debate? That's the only question I have left about her.
palin sounded stupid in her interview with Gibson, thank goodness barbara walters had the right questions for mccain, what in this world dose palin have to offer , nothing but stupid remarks, send her back to alaska.
How many more lies will this woman be caught in? The reality is Sarah Palin was chosen for purely political reasons. She has NO qualifications to serve as vice president, and God forbid if she should ever have to serve as president. McCain has severely damaged his repuation. He did not put country first. He put getting elected first.
Both McCain and Palin have problem telling the truth!!!
They both claim to be a Christians and they both tell lie after lie after lie even after the media exposes the lie they still continue to lie.
Is this how they will run the White House?
It was obvious from the beginning that this VP choice, while bold, and upbeat for conservatives was doomed for failure. I think we can expect a lot more from Gov Palin. Wait till the media catch on to her "wonder years" before she was governor. She is not that sweet honey hockey mom that the republicans thought she was. Ron Paul might just be able to pull some votes away there from McCain and lipstick.
Im a two time Infantry Iraq vet who use to have respect for McCain. Now I see him for what he is. A LIAR.
Heck....Is that all the credentials you need these days to run for Vice President? My guy has travelled to over half of Europe, all over North America etc, does that mean he knows a thing or two about foreign politics? Yes! now i can stick next to my guy in his run for the white house in four years...
How can you not know where you have been? This is a blagrant lie...intent to mislead the Americans. Now we find out she didn't go to Ireland...only for a fuel stop? Why the lie on that? I have lost more trust in her.
Liar, liar Dress on fire!
Palin can not be put in a high position. You undecide voters need to look up on the internet who J. McCain really is, there is one video on youtube from back in the day where he call a women testifying before congress a B&t#$ and a W*&^#. Are you kiddin me!!
What else are they lying about? Americans, wake up. If all these lies were coming from the Obama camp there would be an uproar. This is just to show how racist this country is.
What a liar!!!!!!.....whats next?
Wow! Gov. Palin is quite the world traveler....Kuwait, Mexico and Canada..oh and she stopped once for fuel in Ireland....let's see I've been to Japan, Thailand, Cuba, Spain, Indonesia, China, Canada, Mexico, Ireland, Wales, United Kingdom. I have more Foreign Policy experience than she does!!
When I was in the Air Force, I was deployed to Saudi Arabia for 6 months. I deployed to Iraq for 5 months. I was stationed in South Korea for a year, and on Okinawa for 2 years. Additionally, on the different trips and flights I took from base to base, I had refueling stops or layovers in Ireland, England, Germany, Italy, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, and Taiwan.
By McCain standards, I'm a foreign policy expert qualified to be vice president.
I continue to be insulted as a woman and an American that John McCain picked this woman to be his running mate. He must think that all of us are ignorant, not just the Walmart moms.
Dick Cheney in a skirt!
There are no lies here. I've travelled more than Obama and Palin put together. perhaps I should be the candidate for president or Vice President. I think not!
I've visited Mexico and Canada too...and a number of other countries!!! Guess what? I also lie sometimes. Does that make me qualified to be the Vice Presidential nominee too?
It is obvious that the media is sooooooo in lust with this female, that she will lie her way into the White House. Johnny better look out. She is too sneaky to be put back in the bottle.
It seems to me CNN has become quite enamored with Sara Palin–covering her as you might cover Britney or Paris. Be the coverage for or against, I am tired of hearing her name all day in every context–her background...her daughter...her infant son...her military son...her former life...how she does the mom thing...and on and on. It is like reading People magazine. What happened to the two presidential candidates?
I can always tell when Palin is lying.......her lips are moving.
You know, you can SEE Russia from Alaska. Don't see no NUKES.
MORE LIES, I WAS WATCHING CNN PALIN REVEALED AND THEY SAID THAT SHE ACTUALLY ELOPED WITH HER HUSBAND AND APARENTLY SHE WAS PREGNANT WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED.
THIS IS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS WANT. A PERSON THAT LOVES TO KILL ANIMALS....WAS PREGNANT WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED..HOW CAN SHE EXPECT MORE FROM HER DAUGHTER WHEN SHE MADE THE SAME MISTAKE TOO.
Wow... More is yet to come..
so?
The same old republican party, try to smear the oppisition, and lie about a vice-presidential candities national securitry experience. They always have wanted it both ways.
I never heard her say she had been to Iraq? Mexico, Canada and Kuwait was all I heard.
It would be nice if we could trust her to tell the truth. How are we supposed to make an educated decision with all the lies being slashed about.
The Republicans credibilty is being reduced to ashes. The garbage that they are airing is so intensely and obviously false that I cannot fathom that any thinking voter is going to believe anything they say anymore.
Actually, the funniest part of this story to me was the fact that they tried to say that she had visited Ireland, when it turns out that she was there only for a refueling stop! I guess that gives her expert qualifications on the energy economy in Europe.
This is like a bad dream.
I wish everybody would stop making moutains out of molehills. The important thing is that the Governor visited the troops in Germany and Kawait. She went to Iraq but only to the border. So??
Obama hasn't exactly been the example of going to Iraq and Afganistan now has he? He had to be prodded to go on the last trip by Senator McCain who rightly pointed out that it had been months since he had gone; yet, he was back home commenting on the surge and its failure like he had been there weekly!
So Sarah Palin will travel and learn once they are elected. She will bring a breathe of fresh air to foreign countries. They will be glad to have a woman to deal with who is just a strong as Margaret Thachter was or Golden Mier.
Laura, Boston, MA
Seriously...is anyone suprised by this continued fact stretching (a.k.a. lying) anymore? This has become par for the course with McCain and Palin.
What a sad statement about we Americans that nearly half of us would rather believe these lies even when they are proven wrong and continue to support the lying politicians. What would make us think that they'd be any more authentic if they actually ran the country?
Absolute power corrupts. And, in Palin and McCain's case, it would seem that the pursuit of power does too!
obamas camp just cant stand the fact that she is a better person to be vp than he is to be the president. and if anything what makes him the the best pick for president obamas supporters would try to ruin anyone who was running but i dont think all his big speaches is gonna help him anymore he is done he old news (with his back ground hes got to be joking )her back ground aint even close to the dirt he has on him (she looks like mary mother of jesus compared to obama)
SHAMEFULL !
Obama / Biden 08'
Woo. this is not goof. To have not even traveled to Iraq all the way and actually do something.. doesn't look good for the picture.
Just lie, lie, lie lie. What is wrong with the republicans. They all just lie
Big shocker. The McCain camp is telling stories. The last few days have been pretty disgusting from his camp.
Once again another lie from Palin. I do not understand why people are rallied up by this women. Not one issue that a person said that they like about her has stood above water. I believe if all of her supports stood back a look at her record they how to ask themselves why am I voting for these people. Remember that is why they vote for Bush twice because they thought they could relate to him. And look at us know. If someone could tell me one thing that she said she did that was not a lie. Other than she love guns and she is Pro Life. Just one. I will wait for this response.
These people are such liars. I don't know how they can run for a POTUS and VPOTUS with all of this deception. I know people are human and they can make mistakes...but come on! This is madness and they release/reveal this type of information over the weekend because they think people aren't paying attention.
We are watching...the world is watching!
Obama/Biden '08....the only choice for me
The McCain campaign including McCain himself are a bunch of losers. They will exaggerate alot and deny anything that does not benefit them. The Republican party is known for lying, belittling people and also are known for the fear mongering tactics. But I am surprised that majority of the people of the United States of America and so illiterate and narrowminded.
HERE WE GO AGAIN....OH THE TANGLE WEBS WE WEAVE WHEN WE FIRST ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE.....
How many more lies/scandals can come out her mouth before people realize that shes lieing right to our faces.
It's too late Obama. Complain all you want. America made up their mind on Sarah Palin when she gave her speech.
You should have picked Hillary. Too bad your pride wouldn't let you.
Wow, what a depth of knowledge of foreign cultures she must have gleaned in her extensive travels. And yes, that's sarcasm.
And now we learn that she thinks that we may have to go to war with Russia if Russia invades Georgia. Certainly, she is thinking that the Russians are contemplating seizing Atlanta and Savannah.
Would anyone in her camp want to bet that she can place South Ossetia on the map?
I have visited Mexico (spent a day in Tijuana) and Canada – (a bus trip to a casino from Detroit). I have been to France -4 days, and Spain -3days and oh on the way back to the states we stopped in London. I guess I have as much foreign policy experience as PALIN. Finally, I know for certain I have never asked or accepted earmarks, IF I was a Republican I could be on the ticket as a potential vp. -
Vote for Barack "Barry " Obama
I just now realize who Sarah Palin is reminding me of, Kathleen Harris the former Sec/State of Florida. She has the physical appeal factor going and is eating up the publicity, but not much on substance. I think the Republican party took the gamble to try and neutralize Obama's rock star status. And it has worked. But for how long? She was tapped on the shoulder rather than going through a 19 month vetting process with the american people, countless debates, and many, many interviews. The people chose Obama. McCain and the Republican party chose Palin. But the day of reckoning will come and her publicity show will wear off.
Well isnt that special another fib or bold face lie.. Thou shalt not lie...
Obama/Biden 08
The campaign admits they are liars. Why did it take so long?
Interesting! As an evangelical christian, its just sickening now to watch people of faith wholeheartedly embrace a campaign built on lies.
What example are we setting for our children for Christ's sake? – that the only way to succeed is to taint your morals? That a good fight is impossible, and an honorable win unachievable?
Do we actually vote based on values or just our party? Are we principled people or just hypocrites /pharisees. Does a sin automatically become acceptable because it is committed by one of our own.
Lastly, if the every generation handed over a weak and torn America to the next, would we have such a great nation today?
2008 is not about party, or personality. Its about a duty to make this nation a better and more untied place that we met it.
But, when a politician (even one from my "favored" party) toys, and games with that just to win an election, there is where I selflessly draw the line, for me, my children and the America of the future.
God Bless America!
More GOP distortions for rhetoric and sound bites. Then, CNN and the rest of the media sheep go on and report it. Why haven't we heard anything about Palin's pastor and religion? Rev. Wright was in every news cycle for two months after Super Tuesday and he's far more mainstream. GOP, bring on the lies and sleeze, because its all words and no substance... more of the McSame.
...ok, and this Iraq thing is brought up because of........?? C'mon, why is this brought up...!!??
I don't care where she visited. Even if she visited every country in the world, that wouldn't change the danger we would face if she and McCain were elected. These two would get us into WWIII so fast we wouldn't know what hit us. What's worse they would do it over religion and ideals rather for our own protection. America has big enough problems right now without a couple of right wing fundementalist Christians getting us into another war because someone disagreed with their narrow world view.
By the way – I like how Biden release 10 years of his tax returns while all we hear from the republican side about their lives is "That's no one's business." What happened to transparency? McCain was partially right to compare Obama to Britiny Spears – their lives are open books.
One last comment that I have been trying to make for days. McCain and Palin have degrees in war and journalism respectively. Obama is educated in constitutional law. Who do you think has a better understanding of the constitution? I WANT TO HEAR MORE REPORTING ON THE EDUCATION LEVEL OF THE CANDIDATES – I DON'T WANT ANOTHER IDIOT "C" STUDENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
LIARS!!!!
Mission Accomplished: More GOP distortions for rhetoric and sound bites. Then, CNN and the rest of the media sheep go on and report it. Why haven't we heard anything about Palin's pastor and religion? Rev. Wright was in every news cycle for two months after Super Tuesday and he's far more mainstream. GOP, bring on the lies and sleeze, because its all words and no substance... more of the McSame. What qualities does Palin bring to the ticket? Oh, yah, ultra right wacko.
Someone close to McCain was asked what made Palin qualify for foreign policy credentials. And the person said Alaska is in close proximity to Russia. Can you believe that? The fact that I can stand in New Jersy and see the sky scrappers in New York doesn't mean I qualify as a mayor for New York. Stand in Alaska and look toward Russia and what you see is polar bears. Putin and others live in Moscow.
I'm sick of all this lying and manipulation. Trying to fool the American people with smoke screens and distractions. It's reprehensible and John McCAin should be ashamed of his dishonorable VP pick and sleazy campaign. What happened to "Country First". What a joke!
And the lies keep on coming
The Republicans and McCain where attacking Obama for not having returned to Iraq for a period of 900 or so days until his recent summer visit there. Now we learn that Palin has never even been inside of Iraq. She has never seen the situation on the ground there. What a double standard! The media isn't being unfair to Palin, if anything they aren't scrutinizing her record enough. Her candidacy is just one big deception!
Why am I not surprised? Just keep on talking. I hope all you silly women that think she is all that will just open your eyes a little bit before she makes a fool out of all of you.
Ambition is one thing but out right lying won't get Palin in the White House. I wouldn't trust Palin with my own child.
OK....so the Alaskan governor's aide did not know what they were talking about. Governor Pailin never claimed she was there, so you ask a confused staffer and now make a big case. Hey CNN, we know you have never made a mistake by one of your staff.
Wildly inflated crowd estimates. The estimates I have seen in the Washington Post for the Fairfax, VA were in the 15,000 range. Did Senator Obama's' estimate of 10,000 at the Nissan Pavillion were also 'wildly inflated as I saw a number of 8,400. Were the Nielsen ratings also inflated?
Can you guys do a fair job? It is very apparent that you favor one candidate. You have not asked the same questions or question with the same intensity Senator Obama's 'problems' You have taken now longer to question some silly questions about Governor Pailin (she sold the plane for a loss...when was the last time anyone sold an airplane or a car for a profit?) than the time you spent questioning Senator Obama about Reverend Wright, about his 'terrorist' connection, his home purchase, etc? Your vitrol at being wrong in guessing Senator McCain's choice of Governor Pailin, plus your wanting to be 'cool' in backing an African American candidate (even an inexperienced one) instead of looking at the issues. If Governor Pailin is unqualified, then Senator Obama is unqualified for the same reasons (two years experience), if Senator McCain is 'old school', part of the Washington establishment, etc, then Senator Biden is also from the same cloth...what 'change' are we talking about. When Senator Obama made his choice fpr VP, he went back to the 'establishment', when Senator McCain made his choice for VP, he went for the most popular governor in the US, who happens to be a female...now who proved they are seeking change?
CNN and other news media (both liberal and conservative) seem to be in a feeding frenzy, just to get higher ratings. Both campaigns have made errors and given out wrong/incorrect/distorted information. Your job is to report the true facts and not editorialize. As Sgt Friday used to say "just the facts" ....we the people can make our own mind, without your patronizing editorials
McCain doesn't need to lie to win...what happened to the "Straight Talk Express"? Maybe he should just stick to talking about what he has planned for the future instead of trying to bring his opponent down with Rove/Schmidt tactics – which, lets face it, brings the whole country down.
Where are the comments for this article?
Lying liars.
Lies, Sex, and Scandals!
That's the Palin Way!!!!
The more we learn about Palin the more there is to hate about her!
And the beat goes on. You're going down pitbull.
We already got a government that lied us into a war in iraq,why do we need mccain and peelin?are we that dumb?
A campaign built on lies is a bad sign,other countries are watching us and this will not be good for foreign policies in the future,what foriegn government will trust these guys,after what we got now, it is really a shame that americans are clinging to known liars.
Of course a woman would be good for the ticket,but not this one,after all the known lies,if mccain should win and something happen to him which foreign power can peelin call on who knows her.
Now i do not want to bash her,but the reality is staring us in our face and is like we are blinded by lies.
WOE UNTO THOSE WHO CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL!
She is another Bush. Full of lies. She has no understanding of foreign policy. It is obvious that she has been faking and winging through the interview. Letting her become V.P. and possiblly take over presidency is like the U.S. letting a blind lead the nation & world. We must stop this.
Did anyone really expect Palin to ever tell the Truth? She doesn't even know what the Truth is! She didn't even know there was a World outside of Alaska, till some idiot named McCain introduced it to her.
You mean they lied? I'm shocked! NOT
Sarah Palin is campaigning across the Country!
Todd Palin is in the middle of a Snow Moble Race!
Who in the World is taking care of their 4 month old child with Down Syndrome???? Who???
Who was there when Bristol Palin got pregnant while 16???
If you can't take care of your own family, you shouldn't be telling everyone else what to do with theirs!!! And if you can't deal with the Problems in your own Family, then you definetely can't deal with the Problems of the Country or the World!!!
Pain, Go back to Alaska and be the Soccer Mom you Claim to Be!!!!
So what else do the McCain/Palin Handlers have to hide at first, only to reveal later on when the going gets tough for their team? Did John actually know that his running mate is not being too honest about her claims such as her trip to Iraq to visit the troops? If Sarah is an agent of change as she claims she is, who will shake up Washington if she gets there, why does she allow herself to be muzzled by the political handlers of her party who admitted "...this is our campaign and we will do what we think is best..." or something to that effect?
As a woman, I am so insulted by her meek submission to the handlers running the campaign, who, no doubt will run Washington if this team is elected.
I am scared for the next four years...
But there is hope. There are more intelligent and concerned citizens in this country.
WHY won't the media, CNN included just tell the American people that this lady is NOT qualified and stop the LIES about her experience. The American people deserve better than this in order to know the truth BEFORE the election NOT AFTER!!! Who is surprised!!!!!!!
STOP the MADDess and hype over this chick and tell the TRUTH about her. WE deserve nothing less!!!!
Obama/Biden 08/12
Sarah Palin claims to be a Soccer Mom, but none of her kids play Soccer!!!!
Which kid is suppose to be playing Soccer???
Track in the Army?
Bristol knocked up with a baby?
The 4 month old with Down Syndrome?
The girl that's around 6 years old?
Or the other young teen girl, who is too busy taking care of the baby, because her mom is never around???
Palin herself always said she went to Kuwait, not Iraq. Just because her spokesperson is wrong, doesn't mean she is. Get over it liberal media, she is a "rock star" amongst all the people you have alienated!
Please stop McCain / Palin from destroying Social Secrity !!
Oh gee, yet another lie Palin has told. This is getting old and is utterly disgraceful. Her interview with Gibson made one thing clear, Gibson would be a better VP! She used the words 'gonna' and 'somethin' quite frequently. Does the think using slang is appropriate as the prospective VP of our country? She sounded like a moron and never answered the questions unless Gibson really pushed her to give a straight answer. The smoke and mirrors will only carry you so far, Sarah. It's time to go back to Alaska and do what you do best – eat mooseburgers.
Good. We just ousted Iraq's old dictator. It doesn't need a new one.
Lies Lies Lies.....now I see why McCain (sorry McSame) picked her.
What a joke of a team....
Obama/Biden 08 & 2012
Lies, lies and more lies from the McCain campain. And someone needs to sew Sarah Palin's mouth shut.
Obama/Biden 2008
wow another lie pertaining to Palin...what a surprise
It isn't that she just lied, but at the time she had the Alaskan National Guard lie for her too about her itinerary. Get ready for corruption if elected V.P.
Is this for real?? It is like bad joke! They must think the people of this country are so stupid. And if they get elected, then I have little faith that things can or will get better.
On two separate trips, I have been to Mexico, St. Maarten and St. Thomas. I guess I have as much, if not more foreign experience than she does. Point is, it is one lie or complete exaggerating so as not to even resemble the truth after another with these people. Give me a break!
God bless us all if she becomes the Vice President. Dick Chenny will look like Mother Theresa!
citizens get the leaders they deserve. there is nothing the republicans have to offer.They outrightly lie & journalists and 50% of Americans think she is cool. the real problem is Americans are not ready for a black president and palin just gives these people an excuse to vote reoublican. sad day for human race is coming 4th november.
Is anybody else seeing that this woman is just a cookoo and not experienced to even be governor of Alaska!?
Good grief. A new day, a new lie. Is this what we have to look forward to from now until November?
While Govenor Palin may be good for the GOP, she is no good for the country. There are too many inconsistencies with her record from global warming, her trip to Iraq, earmark spending, and the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. The Republican base only began to rally around Senator McCain after her nomination, which questions the base's loyalty to their Presidential candidate. What frightens me is if Senator McCain is elected, Govenor Palin would be the next person in line should something happen to Mccain. She is far too under educated to lead the United States. Her selection appears to be a ploy on the part of the McCain campaign to win at all cost, even at the expense of the American people. I hear more ploitical rhetoric fron the GOP candidates, more devisive remarks about Senator Obama, and less specifics on how McCain and Palin would lead the Country into the future. We've gone from Swiftboat politics to Lipstick politics and I'm not willing to pucker up and kiss our future goodbye
It saddens me that McCain (who at one time seemed to have unshakable integrity in the political arena) has now resorted to lying and smeer tactics just to win. If he really believes in putting country first, he should at least have enough respect for his fellow countrymen to tell the truth.
Hmm... why so quiet? More lies.
is it me, or does anyone else realize that Palin is a liar. I really don't think that John Mccain did his homework when he chose her. He just wanted a pretty face, not someone that was actually the best choice, with experience. if anyonne get a chance they should go to adn.com( ankorage daily news) and see how many anti-Palin supporters from her state there is and all the lies that she has told the people of Alaska, and how many of them don't support her. If she was so great she would have many more supporters from Alaska. I even read that her mother-in -law said she isn't sure if she wants to vote for her. If she was such a great law maker than her mom- in -law wouldn't have a doubt of who to vote for.
I think there are a few other questions that should be asked, when it comes to Sarah Palin...
How many states has she visited prior to her nomination?
How much time has she spent in Washington DC?
My guess would be not many or much.
I lived in Alaska for a year and a half and during that time, I realized how out of touch with the 'Lower 48' many of the people and policies are there. Do we really want someone talking foriegn policy with other nations that may not even know her own country very well?
I haven't heard any mention of how or if she would be able to adjust to life in DC. The adjustment to a move to the "Lower 48" for Alaskans is often a challenge and Govenor Palin didn't even want to move to the City when she was elected as Alaska's Govenor. How are she and her family (most of which have never lived outside of a 7,000 person town), going to adjust and will she be ready to run a country under those conditions? The move out of the tundra and into the heat of DC has the potential to take it's toll on anyone.
Remember that the VP is a representative of our Nation and should be able to represent us well. Can you imagine the laughing stock that the US could become, with the beauty queen and the self-proclaimed "First Dude" (with no college education that I am aware of) representing us at UN and other international functions?
LOL...these guys are the biggest liars in a campaign I have seen in a long time. Palin tried to tie those personal trips to Mexico and Canada like they were trips on Government business when Charlie asked her that question the other night. I knew he should have asked if they were personal trips!!! LOL...she is a FAKE!!!
what else is new...liar, liar
Republicans can never take the blame for anything! The last 8 years is proof of that. Sara Palin did not have a scripted speach in front of her this time and it really showed. However, Republicans will blame it all on Charles Gibson. It was not Palin fault she could not handle some basic questions about what kind of Vice President she would be. What a typical Rush Limbagh like reaction to this interview. Rush, Hannity and the rest of the conservative talking heads have taught Republicans that it is so much easier to shift or deflect blame for republican failures on others. Nothing is ever their fault. The economy, the mortgage crisis, unemployment, Iraq, inflation is all someone elses creation. Never mind the fact that republicans have been in charge of all components of government the last 8 years. They will blame the democrates because they had a one vote majority in Congress. They don't want you to know that they have either filibustered or had Bush veto any changes proposed by the democrates. It is time to vote out the irresponsible republicans from the White House, Vote out the obstructionist republicans from the Senate, and anywhere else you can boot them out from. Unless you are happy with the state of our Nation. Vote for a new direction. Vote out the failure and incompetance of the Republican party.
It is absolutely unbelievable that the American voter is so confused by this presidential race.
An astounding 4 trillion dollar increase in the national debt – now 9 TRILLION dollars!
It threatens all of us left unchecked – let's vote to fix this.
Palin is being used, and willingly going along with the shell game being played on the country.
Most of us have been to more foriegn countries than Paylin.
The minimum requirement
For running for office she meets, as most of us do.
I would rather have more intelligence than less, more education than less, and a better plan than a worse plan.
If we apply that LOGIC, we will all benefit from the outcome. We expect this, and we are taught to strive for this.
This election WILL be a referendum on the state of mind of the American people.
I personally believe more people will vote based on choosing the best qualified candidate.
I don't believe the less educated, worse plan for pulling this country out of this nose dive will succeed.
Popularity, fiscal ignorance, and a desire to continue trying to occupy every country who doesn't accept our way of life is not the answer.
The USA is not going to rid the world of a mindset of individuals estimated to be as large as 1/3 of the U.S. population.
We are not going to put Americans back to work by adding CAFTA to the job vacuum.
If you seriously consider these simple points, you will know in your heart who you should vote for. What happens in the voting booth is all up to you.
Doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is.
Only visited Mexico and Canada – on vacations.
Visited troops (no foreign leaders) in Kuwait.
"Can see Russia" from her home state.
Seriously, people. Does this person really have what it takes to negotiate with foreign leaders?
She may be great at shooting the breeze with a Wal-Mart greeter, but we are talking about being a heartbeat away from the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES here! To all Palin lovers – snap out of it!!
Maybe if we were in a time of solid world peace would it be OK to have someone with ZERO foreign policy/relations credibility, but that time is not now.
yea, she's a liar....that is a qualification for the white house!!
unbelievable! palin is really a liar, and anyone who would continue to listen to her inflated stories and actually believe her or mcsame are kidding themselves..
Child please.
